Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet people who travel, give them a better more local experience than a hotel. Subvert capitalism.

Music, Movies, and Books

Classical: Bach, Ravel, Debussy, Shostakovich
Jazz: Miles Davis, Lionel Hampton, Bill Evans, John Coltrane, Buena Vista Social Club

No time for movies lately. I like Star Wars and quirky indie films.

Also no time for reading, though it's my favorite thing to do. Most Jane Austen books. "The Discovery of France" by Graham Robb. "Waterland". Anything Raymond Carver. Poetry of W.B.Yeats.
