I like the idea of sharing culture between travelers and locals. Couchsurfing makes travel easier (in more ways than one) and more immersive. Though I've been a member for years now, I have only recently started to couchsurf. The experience was great! I have made friends with my hosts and I plan to keep the relationships for life.

I can tolerate almost all types of music, though I am mostly into acoustic rock/alternative and soul/r&b.
