HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Try to be a courteous ambassador of the US. I have not had the means to host yet, but when I have them I look forward to it. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I have had people just invite me in off of the street to their house for a place to stay and a home cooked meal. These were the types of experiences that were the most meaningful and affirming in the goodwill of the human race. Couchsurfing.org is attempting to facilitate this spirit in a world that grows increasingly untrusting and untrustworthy. The experiences that I have had through the site have been overwhelming, I have exchanged philosophy, learned to cook wonderful meals, laughed my ass off, and confided in people I had just met. Excited to give back what I have been given:)

Like it all...some of my favorites: Books - Terry Prachet. Tolkein. Eddings. The Magicians. Jules Verne. Okay I suppose all of this is sci-fi/fantasy:) Movies - Coen Brothers (in particular Millers crossing, and The Dude covers part of my life philosophy.) - Wes Anderson - his ability to capture the joys of the quirkiness of people while accomplishing little in the form of plot is supreme. - Aronofsky (Death is the Road to Awe!) - Disney/Pixar!! - seriously, name a Disney movie that sucks Music - difficult to say these ten artists interchange in my top five depending on mood. The Band Pink Floyd Radiohead Jeff Buckley Hot Chip George Winston (if you don't know him, learn him!) Johnny Coltrane The Avett Brothers Yann Tiersen FFA
