I'm an economics student from the US, and I am self-employed in motion graphics and CGI. I like cooking, woodworking, playing guitar and shooting pool. I am studying in London for the winter and spring of 2018, and I am looking to get around and meet interesting people (and learn snooker).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like sharing my hobbies and passions with interesting people, and I am excited when other people share theirs with me.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite books have to be The Hobbit, The Mauritius Command, and any great biography.

I don't watch many movies at all, but I like Lord of the Rings, The Matrix, and Spinal Tap. I like all kinds of really, really terrible movies too.

I like to play classic rock on guitar, and I listen to that and jazz. Led Zeppelin, Dire Straits, and Miles Davis are some of my favorites. I like folk and bluegrass too, and I'm always open to new music, particularly if I get to be a part of it :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I designed and hand-built my own mandolin, but I'm not very good at playing it yet, and I think it might break soon.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've got a great Swedish Meatball recipe that you just can't have unless we meet, and I am always excited to learn/share recipes, workouts or songs on guitar. I also can't get enough 8-Ball pool, and I would be really excited to learn snooker.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As long as there is a scrubby pad and hot water, I like doing dishes :)
