HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I found out about Couchsurfing from a friend, and it looks like a cool idea. I just joined, looking forward to participating. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I've hosted a few people in Bulgaria, and met some really nice, fun and helpful people through hosting and through CS groups. It's a great way to make friends.

Movies: not big into special effects. Genre is not so important, just get rid of the cliches. I like a good story well told. Nothing worse than guessing how a movie will finish 15 minutes in. Music: rock, indie, alternative. Depends entirely on my mood. Books: read a lot about history, economics and some politics. Also interested in language. I enjoy novels from time to time. Favourite writers include Tolstoy and John Banville. Like reading about cricket too, and wish there were more decent books about football.
