I'm here to meet new people with whom to exchange memorable experiences. I love conversing about the similarities and differences between cultures and topography. I think allowing fun, open minded locals to guide my experience in their area is humbling and the best way to experience the wonders of their world. Not to mention, roles may reverse and a host of mine may find themselves by the beach in southern California or in England, where I'd love to have a place for them!

Frank Ocean, Radiohead, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Kanye, James Blake, Lana Del Rey, Lorde, Mac Miller, Silvio Rodriguez, Tame Impala, Young the Giant...a short list of my many musical interests. I love many genres of film, especially films that make me think. If I leave a film and take it with me, or I feel inspired (to write a song or otherwise) it did its job. I love books, though most of my reading these days is academic. I used to love Bradbury and other classics. Recently I've gotten into non-fiction audiobooks, they have so much to offer. One recommendation is Yuval Harari's A Brief History of Humankind.
