I’m a fun loving guy who enjoys traveling, meeting people, and learning about other cultures. I do photography, a lot of personal research, and like to write and study languages.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting people and knowing locals. Sometimes the greatest joy in life is to simply exist, breathe the air, and walk the streets, and decipher the sounds of a place I’m unfamiliar with. Knowing the people in those places and understanding them through their eyes makes traveling all the better.

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m an avid music lover. I have a collection of records and if you were to search it you would come across everything from Prince , Joni Mitchell, and James Brown to The Who, Beyoncé, Jeff Buckley and Primus hehe. I also sing and play piano, and studied music for a good chunk of my life. Music is everything.

I enjoy film a lot but I’m not a big movie buff. However my favorite films include a Requiem for a Dream, Mysterious Skin, See No Evil, Hear No Evil, and Forrest Gump. These days I'm starting to watch more and more international film.

I do enjoy reading but I m a nerd and like to read academic things, news, and autobiographies.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A meal, a great conversation and a few laughs, lectures about culture, anthropology, or Africana studies, english lessons/practice. Lots of things.
