ABOUT ME

My name is Tony. I have lived in Las Vegas since 87, and lived briefly in Florida between 97 and 2004. I work in the retail industry right on the famous Strip. What I like about Vegas is that it is central to many destinations and only a couple of hours from 3 different states, so a great opportunity to have a last minute road trip, whether to California, Arizona or Utah. I enjoy social gatherings, live music, the outdoors, movies, photography and good conversations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think CS is a great way to make new friends from all cultures and countries. It also makes travel so much more possible for people with a limited budget, and the best part is that you are never on your own in a strange country or environment which will make the travel so much more safe and exciting, especially if you meet the right people. It is the best analogy to the saying "Pay it Forward!"...

Interests

Anything new. Like to meet people from different backgrounds and learn about other cultures. I like visiting new places especially road trips and camping. Love photography, listening to live music, playing tennis, and good movies.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of music and always open to new sounds from Indie, Electronica, to Jazz, Deep House, Rock, World Music and so on... (I have a big variety of playlists). I especially love live events and concerts (Florence and The Machine, Mumford and Sons, Arcade Fire, Thievery Corporation, Royksoop, Gin Wigmore, Khruangbin were some of the more memorable ones I attended).
Favorite Movies: Again, too may to list, but to name a few: Sideways, Blade Runner, Wit, Rushmore, Bottle Rocket, Lost in Translation, Pulp Fiction, The Big Chill, Dragonfly, The Others, Mediterraneo, Cinema Paradiso, Moulin Rouge, Strictly Ballroom, The Princess Bride, Across The Universe, among many others...
