Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

The history of languages is cool. I like riding my bike through fall mornings, caressed by falling leaves.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like movies, but I only watch them in an opportunistic kind of way -- I don't really keep track of them. I kinda wish I did, because so many movies have truly been inspiring!

As for music, heavy metal!
