HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I do both host and surf. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Most of them were amazing! Others - just stay-overs, but still good. The best one I guess was with four surfers from Chezh Republic who were amazingly highly organised, independent, easy-going and super low-maintainance, so I was happily surprised that my surfers made me feel soooo relaxed! I always set them as an example for CS newbies :) another one was having 6 people stay at my place at once and the group was great and we all had lots of fun over 2-3 days in Irkutsk.

Music: all sort of music - Florence and the Machine, Regina Spektor, The Wombats, Skrillex, Pendulum, Adele, Dope Lemon, Little Dragon, SOAD, Animal Jazz, Jack Johnson, MGMT, Kings of Leon, Portishead, Two door cinema club, Coldplay. I also like the albums of Ministry of Sound. Books: the classics like Shakespear, Dostoevsky etc (I've studied literature for 3 years, so...); from the modern writers, one of the best I recently came across were Haruki Murakami and Paulo Coelho. Movies: Truman Show, Green Mile, Pay it forward, Ameli, Oldboy, Vanilla Sky, Butterfly Effect, A walk to remember, Angel-a, Shutter Island, The 6th Sense, Inside I'm dancing, In pursuit of happiness, The Fountain, Peaceful Warrior, Conversations with God, Yes Man, Babel, Mr Nobody, The lake house, 500 days of Summer, Hachiko and many others I can't think of at the moment.
