For a traveller Couchsurfing is a great alternative to the cold and commercial world of hotels. I'm a "people-person" and I cherrish the opportunity to meet new people and get their unique perspectives on the places they call home.

All good music finds me at some point. Currently I'm listening to Bob Dylan, a Mariachi compilation, mixed in with some early 90's hip-hop. As for books, I'm a sucker for the classics and any historical literature — even if it's a historic highway marker.
