ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting new friends, going for drinks, hoping to crash with some folks soon!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Best CS experience was a tiny Mexican place tucked into Sighnaghi in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. Would never have known about the place if some fellow CS-ers hadn't lured me out there for margaritas and veggie fajitas!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I'll watch just about anything, but I love period pieces, sci-fi, and comic book movies the most. Favorite films include L.A. Confidential, the Blues Brothers, anything Marvel's produced, Pacific Rim, and the original Star Wars trilogy.

Music: Eclectic, to say the least. I love artists from Janelle Monae to Vienna Teng, Doomtree to the Gaslight Anthem, Kanye West to Frank Sinatra.

Books: Favorite authors include James Ellroy, Neil Gaiman, Madeline L'Engle, Stephen King, George Orwell, and Lois McMaster Bujold.
