HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Right now, I'm looking for some pointers and some conversation. When I get back home, I'll definitely continue the adventures hosting others. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I'm a rookie in every aspect, and I'm excited to be a part of this network of great people.

Music - I love Midwestern U.S. hip-hop...Atmosphere, Common, Lupe Fiasco, Rhymefest, Kanye West, Brother Ali, etc. A friend of mine is getting me into the Kooks, and I've always loved really eclectic stuff. Movies - I don't see them often, but I like dumb comedies, snowboarding movies, wake movies, and anything that makes me think about it for awhile. Books - Sand County Almanac, On the Road, Epicure's Lament, Freakonomics, etc.
