I am an easy going (I hope), deeply curious, and adventurous guy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find this is the best way to meet locals and get a better-than-being-a-tourist experience.

Interests

I love the guitar, and have been playing for about five years now. I love reading, current events, novels, and non-fiction. I am an avid tennis and basketball player too!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music ranging from blues to folk to jazz to metal to prog rock. I also like some pop, classical, and hip-hop. Some of my favorite artists are Guthrie Govan, Gary Moore, Joe Satriani, Tommy Emmanuel, A7X.

My favorite movies of late have been anything with Scarlett Johannsen (Lost in Translation, Under the Skin), Jason Segel, Bill Murray (Groundhog Day, St. Vincent). I'm forgetting a lot but I generally love Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Christian Bale, Leo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ah, how to answer? I have played tennis with a touring professional, been crowdsurfing and moshing at a death metal concert, protested against police violence, among so many more interesting things!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good companionship! I think hosting and meeting with tourists are graceful gestures, and I try to make it worth while!
