Personally, I like the community aspect of Couchsurfing. Though I haven't done much hosting, I would like to in the future. Reciprocity is cool.

There's so many! When it comes to music, I am interested in a wide range of styles and genres. I like to listen to pop music as well as more obscure artists. What matters to me is that it feels as though the music has a soul. If I feel like it's really just been made to make money for someone (other than the artist, I guess), then I get skeptical pretty quickly. Like I said, I like to read poetry a lot. My favorites books are usually those I'm reading at the moment. Right now that's Thomas Pynchon's Crying of of Lot 49, Karl Ove Knausgaard's first volume of My Struggle, and a poet names Lo Kwa Mei-en who wrote a book of poetry called Yearling. Also, the poet Jack Spicer has a special place in my heart. Movies. I like to watch them. I'll watch anything if I'm in the right mood. I like bad action movies such as Point Break, but I like more serious movies too. I recently watched Truffaut's The 400 Blows and I really liked that.
