COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I'm new. A friend of mine found transportation to the Great Wall through CS, and we met a whole bunch of awesome people on the way. So I said "sweet," and signed up.

I just started reading a lot more since coming to China, and realized that I really enjoy it! A few books I've read recently: Water for Elephants, The Three Inch Golden Lotus, Outliers, Tuesdays with Morrie, The Fountainhead... and there will always be a place for Harry Potter =] Music: My current obsessions are Anthony Green/Circa Survive, Chiodos, Coheed and Cambria. Of course the Beatles (Help and the White album are my favorites). Generally I prefer good old rock music, but I'm open to anything. I also played in the school bands all through school, so classical/big band/etc always has it's time too.
