COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Yes. Been to couches, hosted many people in and outside of this network. I live in a big house in a community, and we usually have a place to sleep if someone asks. I love Moomin -books (it's a famous finnish thing). There's a family living in a big blue towerlike house, and they always have lot's of guests. One day they had so many people, that the mother of the family doesn't know where to put people to sleep - finally she makes beds for the smallest ones in the cupboard. Ah :)

Classical & world music & actually all kinds of music depending of the mood, place & company. Books, yes. Recent favourite was Milan Kundera's "The Book of Laughter and Forgetting". Movies, sometimes. Recent favourite was a french one "Le Herisson", directed by Mona Achache.
