I think Couchsurfing is great and wonderful way to meet people and travel the world! I joined Couchsurfing several years ago but only recently started to use the sight. I am a long-time couchsurfer (before this sight was created) having spent many nights on others' couches as I traveled throughout the USA, and Europe and SE Asia, especially during my days as a sound engineer.

I grew up as a musician learning to play the trumpet - classically trained - and like almost all genres of music. My go-to is jazz and rock, although my collection covers everything from Alice in Chains to Zap Mama. My favorite movies are the Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns, anything Bond (mostly the early years) and late-night B-movies. The last book I read end-to-end was Think and Grow Rich and I am currently reading The Art of War.
