Some of my most beloved memories are things that happened to me while traveling, through the kindness of strangers and the magic of serendipity. Couchsurfing seems like the perfect way to have more of these experiences, while helping others to do the same.

Music - all kinds! I love live music, and I always try to find and experience the traditional music of a place when I am visiting. I believe there is a perfect song for every moment. Movies - Studio Ghibli, The Goonies, Hitchcock, Documentaries, Wes Anderson, quirky independent films Books - Old classics like Hemingway and Borges, a good thriller/crime novel, fantasy, science fiction, and an ever-widening range of spiritual texts.
