HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I mostly host people. I am also creating a guide, approved by Couchsurfing as well, meant to help tourists save up money and time in Venice. On our webiste: http://www.italianbuddy.com/ you can find more informations about the project plus several hints and tips for your trip. A quick note: people who live in Venice get lots of requests. Please read my couch information before doing so. During high season I receive 4-5 requests per day, in order to have a better luck: 1) DON'T LOOK FOR A COUCH THE DAY BEFORE OR THE SAME DAY YOU'LL ARRIVE 2) I VERY VERY VERY RARELY HOST MORE THAN 1 PERSON. Also read my advices on how to find a host here: http://www.italianbuddy.com/couchsurfing-venice COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I've met quite a few interesting persons and I really like learning stuff from people of far countries

Classic rock (60s-70s) Jazz Blues Most of the stuff I listen is more than 30 years old, but there are exceptions like Muse, Subways, Tenacious D and others. As for movies.. american beauty, a bronx tale, blues brothers, pulp fiction, snatch, leon.. Books: i really like everything by manuel vasquez montalban, or hunter thompson.
