Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet random people! I am new to Couchsurfing but I have been travelling A LOT for conferences etc. and I realize that the friends I met along the way have been as important as those in my city, and have taught me so much.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am just getting back into reading novels after a long pause, rediscovering how much fun it is. The most recent authors I read were Roald Dahl, Gary Shteyngart, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Hannah Tinti.

I got into gypsy/klezmer/cumbia recently and folk.

Love movies but lately been too busy to watch any.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Started a small business ten years ago with my girlfriend. Still at it!

Teach, Learn, Share

Trying to learn cook. I have a few bad habits, including making cheesy jokes, giving unsolicited life advice, and trading conspiracy theories. I just might encourage you to try something different.
