Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling isn't nearly as fun without meeting cool people and there's nothing like being shown around by a local. I've surfed a couple of times and have been super impressed with the warm and trusting nature of all of my hosts so far. Additionally, I found the local CS meetings an amazing way to make new friends when I lived abroad.

Interests

Hugely into rock climbing and traveling, otherwise a bit of a homebody. I'm pretty passionate about music and film and spend a lot of time exploring both.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC
---
So hard to summarize. Psychedelic / surf / stoner / indie rock, 60s folk, classical, 90s hip hop, various types of electronic music...
Here's some of my favorites :) https://www.last.fm/user/youngmandead/library/artists

MOVIES
---
Again, all sorts. I'm a little picky and tend to skip the blockbusters, but otherwise I've got pretty broad interests and enjoy foreign cinema (Japanese, Korean, Scandinavian, ...)

Some all-time favorites: 12 Angry Men, Aguire, Stalker.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Can't really pin it down to one specific moment or experience, but the couple of times I've gone WWOOF'ing / volunteering have been amazingly rewarding experiences, each of them pulling me out of my daily routine for a while, allowing me to work with my hands and immerse myself in a totally different lifestyle.
