My name is Dan. I love travelling, music, eating, making new friends, having a good hang. I've been accused of being easily amused, which I take as a compliment! Experiencing new places is great and meeting some locals is definitely a fast track into getting a better feel for a new place. That's why I'm here!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling is cool. And so is meeting people. So it's pretty natural, really.

Interests

I love music, hearing it and playing it. Going to see live music is really great, be it a show, music on the street, jam session etc. Active-type things, especially biking are pretty cool. I like tinkering with things, fixing stuff. I love meeting people and learning about new cultures. I guess everyone says movies and books but I like those things too heck! And good food too who doesn't like that? Cooking, especially with friends is great I'm into that. I'm definitely a social person and I would say that I make friends easily.

Music, Movies, and Books

As far as novels I've been reading some of the "classics" lately. I really enjoyed The Sun Also Rises and Great Expectations. I'm enjoying 100 Years of Solitude after the fact, although it felt like a bit of a grind at times. Beautiful book though. Music, I love everything! Lately I've been going back to my old punk-era standbys Television and The Jam. And I've also been listening to a lot of 40's era jazz lately as well. Ever Seen Father John Misty live? Do it he's great!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Joining this website is the single greatest thing I have ever accomplished. Biking through Europe and driving to New Orleans from Toronto were a close tie for second.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Musical recommendations, some stupid jokes, relaxed attitude, hopefully a good hang.

Countries I’ve Visited

England, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Scotland, United States
