Por que estou no Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I enjoy hosting international travelers and meeting local couchsurfers. I enjoy learning about my guests and about different cultures. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I have met many amazing people through couchsurfing! I enjoy hosting and plan to keep "my couch" available for couchsurfers when I can, but my couch is always available to family first!
Música, Filmes e Livros
Movies: I love movies – action, suspense, romance, etc. and especially those that inspire me, make me laugh or make me want to be the best I can be! A great movie is one that can tug on all my emotions. Some of my favorite movies include My Sister’s Keeper, The Da Vinci Code, Pay it Forward, The Sixth Sense, In Pursuit of Happiness, The Bucket List, etc. Music: I enjoy a variety of music, but I typically listen to country music. I am learning to appreciate other music ... such as classics. Books: If I do have both the desire and time to read, I would choose fiction, the happily ever after love stories, suspense and drama as well as non-fiction with health related, self-improvement, motivational, true life accounts (autobiography and biography) literature.
