HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I feel that making friends is the best way to help out the greater couch surfing good. Anyone who lends me their couch is certainly welcome on mine! COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Though I've only surfed a few times, it has always been awesome. No two couchsurfing experiences are quite the same. Can't wait to do some more.

Where to start? Recently I've read "Running in the Family" by Michael Ondaatje, "Hallucinations" by Gabriel Arenas, "A Small Place" by Jamaica Kincaid, and "Tropic of Cancer" by Henry Miller. I recommend all of them. I read a lot of non-fiction these days. I like history books like "God's Crucible" by David Levering Lewis and "Unfamiliar Fishes" by Sarah Vowell. I'm really interested in Mesoamerica, especially pre-colonial, so I've been gathering a little library of books on indigenous America.
