I love the gift economy! I've never hosted because I live in a very rural area - I've never received a request. Only stayed with a couch surfing host once - when I travel I frequently stay with friends or aqcuaintances, camp, or visit a community. But I absolutely love this idea, and I think being open to welcome and embrace strangers makes the world kinder and safer.

World music, classic country, reggae. Love making music with friends. I read a lot -love novels but haven't made much time for them recently. I like reading inspirational and beneficial books. Love watching movies with friends, a wide variety but I'm not super into violence, action, or scary movies.
