CURRENT MISSION

I'm now happily living with my husband & we've pretty much stopped hosting for the time being. Maybe that'll change. Back when I was a single guy, I hosted lots of super fun couchsurfers.

ABOUT ME

i'm a very easy going & like-able soul (with no shortage of harmless quirks) who's always up for an adventure and ready to take in some weary couchsurfing folk & show them a world of a good time right here in Cincinnati

Музыка, кино и книги

i tend not to be drawn to movies with big explosions, computer generated characters, poorly written scripts

music - mostly edgy alternative stuff (not too clubby)
"musicians and music that takes risks and doesn’t fit neatly into any category".

some fav's include: beirut, fleet foxes, the national, sufjan stevens, bell orchestre, arcade fire, band of horses, mgmt & radiohead

some of my old school fav's include:
galaxie 500, nick cave, the pixies, old rem, the replacements, echo and the bunnymen

books - reading travel guide books cover to cover (especially Time Out & Rough Guide)
also read alot of books about Architecture and Urban Design
