我为什么使用Couchsurfing
— — — Update November 2022 — — — Primary goal is to meet locals! — — — Update June 2019 — — — Honestly, I originally started because I was a college student "ballin' on a budget," but after one immensely generous and loving host let me stay at his beautiful home, my eyes were open to the beauty of this community. And as my friends and I traveled through Texas, the CouchSurfing community truly embraced us. This is a beautiful experience that I would love to contribute to. My travels have gained a new depth to experience, and a new way to share these experiences with the world.
音乐、电影与书籍
- - - - Music - - - - — — — Update November 2022 — — — Shamelessly digging Joji lately, all that sad-boy music vibe. Otherwise tastes are mostly unchanged, maybe leaning more towards anything analog/instrumental. — — — Update June 2019 — — — Up until a few years ago, I never paid much attention to lyrics. When I finally did, I was shocked at the depth of music I’d been missing out on. Thanks to the song Yesterday by Atmosphere, my eyes have finally opened. Some others: Jack Johnson The Beatles Bob Marley John Butler Trio Eminem Atmosphere Kendrick Lamar Raça Negra Falamansa Red Hot Chili Peppers Dean Martin Teebs (look 'em up!) Tune Yards Andrew Bird (The music video to Left Handed Kisses is great) Norah Jones (love love love her voice) Let's not forget the chill stuff and electronic brain damage: Blackmill Blockhead Chrome Sparks Com Truise Flight Facilities Zeds Dead Tycho Ta-ku Skrillex (yup) RL Grime (so grimey) ODESZA NERO There's this one song that I always find interesting: BTSTU by Jai Paul. - - - - Movies - - - - Slumdog Millionaire The Notebook (Yeah, yeah) The Green Mile (Tom Hanks is my man!) Um... the new Beauty and The Beast with Emma Watson. Her with Joaquin Phoenix American Beauty, because Kevin Spacey is beautiful. I won't even start my rant. Rush Hour is pretty high up there, too. I love my movies, so I'll stop here while the list is... short. - - - - Books - - - - — — — Update November 2022 — — — How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan Caffeine by Michael Pollan — — — Update June 2019 — — — The most memorable book I’ve read was My Stroke of Insight by Jill Bolte Taylor. I strongly suggest it. She also has a very moving TED talk for brevity and a more engaging explanation.

教学、学习、分享
— — — Update November 2022 — — — “All in due time” “We think we have time until suddenly we dont” “Hesitation only hastens the grave” “The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.” “If you see me talking to myself, I’m having a staff meeting.” “Consciousness is the way information feels when it’s being processed” — — — Update June 2019 — — — Patience, for all that is good takes time. Love for the open mind. This life has so much to offer, yet we’re so easily blinded.
我能与房东分享的
