Both of my older sisters have used couchsurfing to travel which inspired me to do so as well. After working on the oil rigs I quit my job and bought a one way ticket to Europe where I spent the next 13 months. It truly amazed me how kind and generous my hosts, as well as people I met along the way, were to me as they opened the door to their homes, offered me food, and included me in local experiences. I love the whole aspect of couchsurfing!!!

Music - Classic Rock (oldies) is all time but I listen to a mix of everything to be fair Movies - I've seen a lot of movies.. Gladiator, last samurai, the patriot, last of the Mohicans, etc; Drive, Wind River, Out of the Furnace, etc; tommy boy, ace Ventura, Christmas vacation; the list goes on Books - always in need of a good recommendation!
