Back in 2005 my pal Graham (https://goo.gl/L9A6sJ) and I dreamed up a Couch Surfing style site. I sold my car and moved to Chicago to kick it off. Imagine our despair when CS launched soon after! Luckily our motto was "if ya can't beat 'em, join 'em." We quickly became some of the first CS hosts and had over 100 visitors from all over the world stay with us!

After years I'm back on CS to rekindle my spirit of adventure and connection with the world.

音乐、电影和书籍

In general: Movies are a great way to spend the afternoon when the weather's bad, books are an absolute necessity if you take public transportation or enjoy using your mind.

Since I have somewhat through and diverse tastes, I'll have to tackle these categories one at a time.
