I like to talk to strangers.

I like new things and new people. Sometimes I like fun nights out and sometimes I like quiet nights in. I'm easy going. Let's chill and see where the day takes us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend Hali suggested this app to me.

Interests

I like meeting new people. Sometimes I just want to wander around without a plan and see what happens.

• reading
• live music
• meeting people
• sharing stories
• having fun
• long distance hiking

Music, Movies, and Books

I think I agree with Kurt Vonnegut: all music is sacred.

I listen to what I'm in the mood for. That said, I am quite partial to improvised jazz and punk. Let's have a drink and check out a show!

I read anything I can, but mostly I like to read fiction: Murakami, Hemingway, Tolstoy, just to name a few.

I like classic cinema, especially French New Wave (Ascenseur pour l'aschefaud, Breathless) and I like weird campy Japanese movies (Tokyo Gore Police, The Machine Girl)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked the Appalachian Trail.
