HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I would love to host and be hosted! I travel frequently, and as of yet have always had an acquaintance to stay with, but as my travels take me farther from home I've needed to to expand my options! Looking to meet new friends who appreciate the beauty of the world, and want to know more about those who inhabit it. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE None yet (through this website). But I've spent many a night on a couch, and frequently have friends/family/acquaintances stay with me when they visit.

Movies: I don't usually stay awake for an entire movie, but if I do, it's probably a documentary about social issues. Or Chipotle. I'm much more likely to sit through a show like The Office, Parks and Recreation, How I Met Your Mother (though I'm not caught up on any of those)! Music: Anything without autotune (except when I want to dance)! Books: EVERYTHING. Most recently I read Reza Aslan's Zealot, Wanderlust by Elisabeth Eaves, and some YA fiction that I may or may not have also gone to see the film version of (sorry not sorry). I've loved Russian literature ever since I took a class in it my first semester of college. I may or may not have actually finished Les Míserables. Trilogies, or series of most kinds, both stress me out and entice me. Finished Harry Potter like 10 years after everyone else. Can't bear the thought of starting LOTR (also can't bear the thought of never reading it). Will never be able to sit through all of those movies.
