Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i've been a member since 2010. it's a nice way to meet like minded or interesting people and exchange culture and make friends.

Interests

always looking for a nice conversation or someone i get along with. good company is a good time.

i enjoy photography, cycling, all types of sports, music, language and art.

i like real and genuine things. increasingly hard to find in a modern world.

Music, Movies, and Books

many types of music and always listening to new ones. currently listening to flamenco, samba, piero umuliani, miles davis, townes van zandt.

many books. war and peace, tender is the night, candide, and catch-22, among others.

i don't really watch tv or movies anymore. but a couple movies i watched this year that i rate highly: days of being wild by wong kar wai and only yesterday by isao takahata.
