Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing is the best way to make friends with local residents and truly experience a country/city/community and its culture. I am very grateful for people's generosity and willingness to open up their homes to travelers like myself!
Music, Movies, and Books
I love all types of music; it really depends on the situation. That being said, my favourite musical era is the 70s. I also play classical piano. My favourite composers are Brahms and Grieg. My favourite book is Ender's Game and anything Tolkien. As for movies, I love horrors and thrillers. When it comes down to it, I enjoy any music, book, or TV/Movie, as long as it leads to a deep/entertaining discussion!
My Interests
I prefer small towns and nature get-aways to the big cities, but I am eager to experience it all! I am most interested in meeting new people (locals and fellow travelers alike). I love to hike, scuba dive, play games, and I am open to any and all new experiences. Currently learning how to surf!
