CURRENT MISSION To continue following the signs and to build a meaningful and passionate life.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I have only known about Couchsurfing since February of 2008. My roomate is very active and I have had the opportunity to meet many Couchsurfers of Lyon at parties and also to meet the international Couchsurfers who have stayed at our apartment since my arrival. I think that the Couchsurfing network is amazing and would like to participate more actively. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE All of the couchsurfing experiences that I have had have been wonderful. I have met very interesting international and local Couchsurfers.
Music, Movies, and Books
The last really good movie I saw was the Dargeeling Express. The last really good book, Love in the Times of Cholera. Right now I'm really into French and Italian Music of the 30's, 40's, and 50's.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
