Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm on Couchsurfing because I want to learn more about living in different places outside of the usual touristy stuff which I do admittedly enjoy a lot I also enjoy meeting new people and want to find out what it's actually like for the people living in the places I visit.
Interests
Along with my love of travel and exploration I have a deep interest in wine and cooking. I cook mostly french but I can cook some Italian American and Cuban, along with a little bit of Japanese. I love learning about history, different cultures, art, and philosophy

Music, Movies, and Books
I like pretty much all music. My favorite genre would definitely be psychedelic like the Beatles, Dengue Fever, Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, Kikagaku Moyo, King Gizz, Nino Ferrer, and the Zombies But I also other artists Arctic monkeys, Beach Bunny, Noname, Kate Bush, and Piaf
Favorite album would have to be either Sgt.Pepper or Odessey and Oracle.
I love reading and I honestly can't choose a favorite book. My favorite authors would probably have to be Orwell, Vonnegut, Huxley, and Hunter S.Thompson.
My favorite movies would probably the original Star Wars trilogy but outside of that I’d think I would have to go with Grand Budapest Hotel, I’m a big Wes Anderson fan.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I went to a rave/trek in the Annapurna mountains for about a week I think that was pretty awesome either that or celebrating Holi in Varanasi
What I Can Share with Hosts
