HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Couchsurfing has become a passion for me. It's a way of life: I live it, breathe it, drink it, and I absolutely love it! I did a lot of couch surfer hosting in my twenties and was deeply involved in the local Denver CS scene for a stint. - Hosting: I think I'm somewhere around 60 or 70+ guests. - Surfing: So far, only three times, but each time was all I could've hoped for and more! - Organizing: Many meet-ups and events in Denver, including "Surfers in the Park" which was a weekly summer event. - Spreading the love: I guess I'm sort of a networker by nature- I love making connections with people and between people. I'm great at setting up "friend-dates", ie introducing surfers to each other and knowing who's gonna absolutely LOVE hanging out with/surfing with/hosting who. Sometimes it's all by accident and sometimes I do it intentionally. Either way, I like helping people make new friends. :) COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Couchsurfers have saved my life on more than 3 or 4 or 10 occasions.

I have always thought of the music I listen to as sort of the soundtrack to my life, so it's very much whatever fits my mood at the moment. I've found music from basically every genre that I like (or can at least appreciate). My staples, however, tend to be folk/acoustic-based. My two all-time favorites are Ani DiFranco and Bob Dylan. Movies- I love dark comedies, satires, and mock-umentaries (Donnie Darko, The Royal Tenenbaums, Little Miss Sunshine, Best in Show, Princess Bride, Clue, etc). I've also become somewhat addicted to documentaries lately. Books- I have to admit that I've never been much of a reader, but I'm working on it...
