Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and meet new people. I like to learn about new places and learn from people too. Couch surfing seems to be the best way to get a rich travel experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of music but my favorites tend to be shoegaze, post-rock or anything atmospheric. I like a bit of punk and hardcore. I like a good club with something to dance to.
I don’t watch a lot of movies these days but I tend to like sci-fi and dystopian stuff. I like nature and architecture documentaries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2018 my friends and I recorded and released a record. People liked the record and we played a lot of shows and saw a lot of places. It was amazing.
