I feel this is the best way to experience a location. While I haven't participated really, I like the idea of staying with someone who is willing to help with a wayward traveler. I also hope to help share my own experiences with anyone who would be interested in hearing where I have been or what I've done.

I enjoy anything with a good piano or nice guitar and a precious voice. But I wouldn't kick something lo-fi or a heavy baseline out of bed. I've had an ongoing interest in B-movies for the last few years and am an average fan of the Cohen brothers, Wes Anderson, Trey Parker and Matt Stone but am partial to animation in general. That being said, I enjoy Akira the most. Currently reading Ted Kaczynski's Industrial Society and its Future.
