Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Honestly I'm here to find places to stay while Im traveling through Europe for eight weeks starting in July. I'm looking forward to meeting new people and enriching this life long adventure dream.
Music, Movies, and Books
Music - Sinnerman by Nina Simone and then anything by Bob Dylan - well... most things. I can't think of any movies in particular I am a bit of a film buff but nothing comes to mind. Books - Girl with curious hair by David Foster Wallace, Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig, We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Bungee jumped into Lake Taupo in New Zealand. I went into the water up to my waist.
Teach, Learn, Share
Drawing and painting techniques, art history, philosophy, a little music, English.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I'm hoping to do a lot of drawing and writing on my travels so I'll be happy to offer a piece of art if it appeals to the host. I can help with any odd jobs needed around the house. I can cook and at the very least offer some money ;)
