HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I'm looking forward to participating in the Denver, CO Couchsurfing scene. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I've met some people passing through Chicago when I lived there & checked out a local CS event. So far I've surfed in Iowa, Nebraska & Istanbul. I recently relocated to Denver, CO in Sept 2013 & have been to one weekly CS meet-up so far. I'm looking forward to hosting other travelers once I get settled in my new place.

One of my main musical influences when younger was the Grateful Dead, so I enjoy jam bands (Phish, Allman Bros., etc.). But I also enjoy a wide range of music - anything that moves my soul, makes me want to dance, or makes me want to chill & relax. Lately, I've been enjoying classical & jazz. Probably the only music I don't care for is heavy metal, punk or any music that's discordant, really loud & angry and/or involves people screaming & yelling. Many times I simply enjoy no music at all & just the soundscape of life. A few of my favorite movies: Matrix trilogy, Contact, Almost Famous, Hairspray (the recent version), musical movies with Gene Kelley (man, that guy could dance!), Lord of the Rings, Hero, Green Mile, Intouchables, Dead Poet's Society, Shawshank Redemption, and almost any movie with a superhero. Books: fantasy (Terry Brooks novels, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones) and books about philosophy (Esther Veltheim, Ramesh Balsekar, etc), Jungian psychology (James Hollis, Robert Johnson), Consciousness, quantum physics & health. Some of the more influential books in my life: Ishmael, Siddhartha, Quantum Healing, The Road Less Traveled, Celestine Prophecy, The BodyTalk System, Beyond Concepts, Who Am I?, Duet of One.
