Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I really enjoy meeting people of different cultures and backgrounds - would love to meet up with fellow travelers and locals. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Met up with a bunch of CSers in Madrid, Spain. Looking to meet up with more CSers now!
Music, Movies, and Books
The Godfather Part 2 is my favorite, something about the dual stories. Gattaca has always been on my list because the possibilities of genetic manipulation are at once terrifying and amazing. LOVE The Sound of Music, it's what I grew up on. I'd really love to go on that Sound of Music Tour in Salzburg.. My musical tastes are everywhere, lately I can't stop listening to the 90s r&b and hip hop playlists on Spotify. Fave reads: To Kill a Mockingbird, Slaughterhouse-Five, Reading Lolita in Tehran, The Sun Also Rises... just to name a few.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Just one?! Running a race through a storm that turned out to be a tornado was fun mostly because I didn't know it was a tornado at the time.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach/Share: I solve operational and technical business problems - I do love talking about how to achieve people's business and financial goals. 🤓 but I can also teach the art of bullshitting. Learn: If you can play the guitar or piano, I would LOVE to learn - I have both and know how to play none of them (I was an ambitious child with poor follow through skills).
What I Can Share With Hosts
Good conversation, wine or beer, snacks...
My Interests
Traveling, running, learning, conversing, eating, drinking, reading, not necessarily in that order.
