Currently teaching English in a few schools in Italy and finding the time in between that to write my own stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new and interesting people and experience their myriad perspectives as I travel the world.

Interests

What are my interests? I can't just put 'food'.

I love to read, write short stories, learn new things about history and science and play games either video, card, or board.

And food. Boy, do I love food.

• dining
• traveling
• history
• science

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm really into quite a lot of music and it really depends on my mood but I do find that I consistently like music with a funky bass line and decent drums. Upbeat stuff mainly but I sometimes have a hankering for the odd melancholic ballad. But if I had to make it list it'd go something like this:

Rush
Iron Maiden
AC/DC
Daft Punk
Classical (mostly piano pieces)
Muse
Franz Ferdinand
Metallica
Pendulum
Queen
QOTSA
Tenacious D
... Among other things.

I like most genres of movies but my biggest love is probably science fiction so Interstellar, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Black Hole, Silent Running, The Sphere, Star Trek (up until the first reboot) are all favourites of mine.

As with movies I love science fiction in book form too and I can't get enough of Arthur C. Clarke's short stories and novels. Patrick Tilley's Amtrak Wars series is also another good one. Other than fiction I like to read about science and the way it is helping shape the future.
