Music, Movies, and Books

I appreciate all types of music from jazz to psychedelic rock to electronic/house. I also enjoy playing acoustic guitar and sing tunes.

I love film noir, documentary, and TV series such as Game of Thrones.

Recently read: Into Thin Air, Seven Years in Tibet, The Alchemist, Wild. I like reading stories from the places I'm traveling. I'm also a big fan of Bill Bryson books.

I recently finished 6-weeks of trekking in the Nepal Himalaya (Everest / Annapurna)!
