I collect VHS tapes and records. I love going to art galleries and taking strolls through gardens. I have recently gotten into poetry and would love recommendations on your favorites! I am getting into film photography and thinking it's possible that, in this digital age, I am grasping at any tangible art there is left. I enjoy drinking coffee and tea, wine and beer, and love eating all kinds of food (though I am vegan, don't worry, there is almost always something I can eat). There is not much better than a bicycle ride on a warm, summer night. Seeing live music is a priority of mine, and I am lucky enough to live in a place with some amazing venues. Another priority in my life is watching movies, especially on film. My favorite genre is horror but I enjoy pretty much everything.
I get a lot of enjoyment out of hanging out in small groups, though the occasional party is fun. I love talking about big picture things -- philosophy, politics, religion -- and even though I have some pretty hard views on such things, I like to be challenged and love a good (civil) argument. I will not continue discourse with people who are racist, classist, homo/transphobic. I believe black lives matter and everyone good is necessary.
I have been on Couchsurfing for many, many years and have experienced traveling to the fullest because of it. I don't know of any other way to travel than to stay with locals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been on Couchsurfing for many, many years and have experienced traveling to the fullest because of it. I don't know of any other way to travel than to stay with locals. Hosting is another sort of thrill that involves the ability to travel without leaving my own home.

** Due to the massive amounts of requests I get a week, I will have to deny guests that show no effort in their requests. So please mention why you'd like to stay with ME by proving you've read my profile. Don't mention saving money as the reason.
