HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I have been couch surfing long before joining this website. It is very common in the dance community to host dancers from out of town. I've often hosted dancers on my couch and in return slept on many a couch as I dance in new cities. When I heard about couchsurfing.org from a friend I thought it would be a great way to expand my couchsurfing beyond just dancers. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE My best experience was when I moved from South Carolina up to Connecticut. I took about a week and a half to do it. Was so much fun! I danced and slept on couches in Norfolk, Richmond, DC, Philadelphia, and New Haven.

Books: Anything fiction, especially science fiction and fantasy. Favorite author is Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park, Sphere) and Orson Scott Card (Ender's Game). I enjoy Dean Koontz as well, but only when I want a really easy read. I'm getting into John Grisham and Tom Clancy. As for the classics I like Frankenstein, 1984, Animal Farm, Scarlet Letter, and Journey to the Center of the Earth. Plays I loved reading include Waiting for Godot, The Crucible, and Death of a Salesman. Movies: I love it all! Great comedies are my favorite, actions are always great, I don't mind a good chick-flick here and there. I also love submarine movies (U571, Hunt for Red October). Specifically I love 12 Monkeys, Minority Report, Mission Impossible, Monty Python, any Muppet Movie, Inception, X-Men, Noises Off, Dumb and Dumber, Austin Powers, and Rocketman. Music: I love any music from the 80's, especially Michael Jackson and Aerosmith. I'm big on anything swing such as the Cherry Pop'n Daddies and the Squirrel Nut Zippers
