I was actually going couch surfing with my friends using my friends account and one of the hosts recommended I make my own account. So although I have no references, I have used CS twice to stay with hosts. I love couch surfing as a way of traveling. I think it's awesome being able to share your home, make friends with people all over the world and make traveling a people oriented adventure. I have never hosted using CS, but have always tried to have open arms to people in need of a place to stay. I have host two exchange students from Spain and Catalonia two summers which were amazing experiences. There are so many wonderful, great, awe-inspiring things to see all around the world, but what makes those memories stick is the people you're with.

Music: almost everything (examples: RnB, country, folk, alternative rock). Books: absolutely love to read and don't go anywhere without a book. I read mostly fiction, anywhere from historical to classics to fantasy. Movies: I HATE horror movies seeing as they scare the living Christ out of me. I can explain more if we meet, I have logical reasoning. Everything else is fine though.
