HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I would love to host in the spirit that I have been hosted. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I don't know what to type in this little box. Poetry, no doubt: Australia, yacht and hob-nobbing with a small cavalry of lawyers, a bioengineer and a chemist for a major petroleum company. If I were a character in a movie, I wouldn't do these things. Which is why CS rocks my face off. In New Zealand I surfed a cop's couch, and a bunch of students, dressed like a Highlander and had newspaper-sword-fights with the Imperial Russian Army in the park. I chased sunsets and drank box wine on the beach with Collective folk and ate baby wasps on ice cream. Bravado. As the Irish would say, it was good crack.

I read cookbooks these days. I have a philosophy degree with a gender studies minor. I listen to classical music on the treadmill, og ska and reggae in the kitchen and sade when I'm painting. I'm currently addicted to the show House.
