I like to travel on the cheap, not just to save money, but to meet new people. Couchsurfing provides the opportunity to meet new friends and get to know a place quickly, from the perspective of the locals. It is a richer experience than wandering around like a stranger in a strange place, though that can be good sometimes too.

Books: I like to read for information, inspiration, and sometimes I just like a good story. Movies:...Yes Music: most styles, except not so much heavy metal, or country western. I've been interested in learning Latin jazz lately.
