I'm couchsurfing because it's the best way to really get into the culture of where ever I am. I love to meet new people, and I'm traveling alone, so it's also a great way to make new friends!

Music: Indie rock, Irish folk, Post Rock, Jazz, grunge rock, classic country, bluegrass, latin rap, classical.... a lot of stuff. Movies: Oh boy... Well there are too many to list. But I pretty much like anything that is unique and/or has a really good story arch, especially inspiring true stories, or ones that have me laughing and crying. Or where the art is really amazing. Books: Historical non-fiction, Harry Potter, books about psychology and/or sociology. Anything by Paulo Coelho. Gothic classics. Anything by Dickens and Shakespeare.
