I'm an artist and musician living in Toronto. I have been working in the film industry as a set dresser to make up the money to take a trip to Europe and explore more of the world. I love music and festivals, and have been to Montreal's Osheaga festival three times! I love playing music and beat making is my passion, I also love to paint calligraphy and typographic art!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm interested in meeting new people and having a good time!
I want to meet new people and hear new perspectives. I'd love to visit historical and cultural landmarks in Europe and get to know the people who live there! I also love to drink and have a good time, and am always down for an adventure! I hope we can exchange couches and I'd love to have friends stay at my place in downtown Toronto!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a fan of music from all genres, I'm a connoisseur of soundscapes, audio engineering and rhythm. Funk, Soul, Instrumental Beats, and everything from Hip Hop, to Rock, to Pop. I also DJ and produce beats which you can find here: http://www.soundcloud.com/jxmacri

I love crime thrillers/drama's, (Heat, The Departed, Pulp Fiction) Television series such as Boardwalk Empire, The Wire, Game of Thrones and almost everything from HBO! I'm always up for a good comedy, Tommy Boy, Wedding Crashers, Monty Python's Holy Grail are some favourites that come to mind.

I recently have been reading non-fictions about ancient Egypt particularly Graham Hancock's Fingerprints of the Gods. I have also recently gotten into Hemmingway's short story collection.
