HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Several years ago I went on a backpacking trip across Europe with a good friend. We stayed with couchsurfing hosts in each country and it was an amazing experience. I'd like to be able to contribute to someone else's adventure in a positive way if I can. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE In order to refrain from hosting every single night due to so many wonderful people visiting Chicago all of the time, I can only host about once a month right now. That way I can maintain some balance in my life as well.

I like horror stories (Dean Koontz) and action movies. I like independent films and blockbusters. I enjoy dramas, comedies, romantic films, and an occasional documentary. I don't read as much as I would like to, but I'm working on it...
