Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Have had a profile here for a long time, but finally gathered courage and decided that I want to try it out - what's a better way to explore a new city than with a local, who knows all about it?

Music, Movies, and Books

From Bloc Party to The National to Placebo to Kings of Leon to The Zolas to Latvian hip hop to choir music. There's a lot and I love to discover new things every day.

One of my favorite books is "The unbearable lightness of being" by M.Kundera. One of my recent favorite reads is "The Greater Miracle" by Thomas Glavinic, which is a story about a climb of the Mount Everest.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm afraid of heights, but somehow have climbed mountains in Norway, sat on the glass ledge of Skydeck in Chicago (which is glass floor balconie 1,353 feet over the city) and experienced the human bungee slingshot (twice).
