Shortly after graduating uni last year, my wife and I moved to the UK where we're both working as software developers. We've actually hosted quite a few people in London, but that's all recorded in her profile, not mine; it was great every time so I'm hoping to host/visit people more. I always have a story to tell, but I'm just as happy to listen to others. My hobbies are usually not too dynamic (board games, D&D, etc.), but sometimes I do compensate that by partying hard or doing something outside my comfort zone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To find new people in different countries who can show and tell me something new about this world, new friends and acquaintances to share views with, and maybe even future travel companions.

Interests

• literature
• movies
• board games
• music
• programming

Music, Movies, and Books

I can listen to almost any kind of music: the sound and lyrics are often more important than the genre.
I'm trying to keep track of everything I watch, so currently my favourite films are The Reader, The Tale and The Disaster Artist.
In literature, I love horrors (E. A. Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, S. King), fantasy/sci-fi (R. Jordan, H. G. Wells) and various fiction, but I don't limit my choice to those genres (for example, I enjoyed reading Nietzsche and Machiavelli).
