The world is big and there are a lot of good people in it. I hope to use couchsurfing to see as much as I can and to meet as many people as possible.

音乐、电影和书籍

Daft Punk, Radiohead, LCD soundsystem, Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear. I have a deep respect for local musicians of almost any genre.

Casablanca, Singing in the Rain, Rushmore, Pulp Fiction, No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood. I like most movies, but I do like classics, some musicals, Disney/Pixar, and generally everything by the Coen Brothers, Tarantino, Wes Anderson, and PTA.

I usually am reading something nonfiction, usually about psychology or something social justice-y. Oliver Sacks is one of my new favorite authors, as well as Paulo Freire.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

The coolest thing I've ever done was hop on a plane to Lusaka, Zambia with a group of Gonzaga students I had never met. We studied abroad in Chimfunshi, a wildlife orphanage in the northwest region of the country, and did behavioral research on the chimpanzees there. We also hung out with really energetic kids and helped teach them English.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I really like listening to people. I am curious about others' jobs, religions, nationalities, languages, and cultures. When I stay with a host, hopefully we can learn something about how to think from one another. Also, if you're a musician, we might be able to jam (I play drums and a little guitar).
