HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I have surfed couches on and off of CS since '07. Have always had a great time/ Have attended CS events in three countries, and organized CS events in two. Community is important to me,(I lived in a co-op for two years.) Similar to couchsurfing, I've wwoofed as well.(Willing Workers on Organic Farms) COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Have met and stayed with lots of fantastic people around the globe, what a great project!

When I do, I like something like the discovery channel. I enjoy Mythbusters, Portlandia, got a kick out watching Dollhouse. Favorite Movies: I hardly ever watch movies.. but yes, I enjoy them.

I seem to average one movie in theatre a year.
