HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING My wandering blues swayed me to spend countless nights on kind people's couches, enjoying their food, company, music, smiles. I look forward to hosting again and passing their graciousness right along down the path. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Sometimes too little, sometimes too much. I am forever indepted to the kindess of so many and feel so fortunate that CS came into my once boring office life in 2004 :) I'll forever be enamoured with this concept and the people it affords me to meet.

Old faves:los fabulosos cadillacs, 99 posse, seu jorge, red rocket, miles davis, ray charles, caetano veloso, piaf, brel, gainsbourg, and the whole old smoky french crew. Books: wow, too too many.
