HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I've now been a member since the Beta test, but officially 12 years (wow how time flies). And although I haven't been involved as long as some, i've tried to take part as much as possible (despite living in 'weird' places). In Guilin, China (where i joined CS)i hosted a few times and went to CouchSurfing dinners every week-end (party on). I surfed a few places myself in China before hosting a number of people again in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Then I crashed couches in Central Asia and hosted for a while in Baku, Azerbaijan. After a stint in Mexico where i couldn't host, i found myself in Yemen where i didn't expect too many CSers. And then Iraq... And then Venezuela... And then, well, you get the point. Mainly i'm on a mission to convert as many cool people to the project as possible!! I used to be a city ambassador, for a couple different places but have now changed to a Nomadic Ambassador as i move so much. I'm the moderator of several groups. I try to answer as many questions for those coming to, staying in and travelling to anywhere i have travel experience with. I was an active member on the chat room (before head office killed it) I was also a member of the New Member Welcome group (before head office killed it)

I generally like male rock voices (Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chilli Pepper, Stone Temple Pilots) Then i like female soulful/R&B type voices And if the mood strikes i'll listen to country, hip-hop, pop, Gregorian chants and Mongolian dual-tone throat singing.
