Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Had some fantastic couchsurfing time in Indonesia, Brazil and UK even before I discovered this site. It made me realise that this is the best way to truly get to know your destination.
Music, Movies, and Books
I love good storytellers, so books I like include works by Stephen King, Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Jorge Borges, Irvine Welsh. My most recent discovery is George RR Martin. I'm now officially addicted to A Song of Ice and Fire, desperately waiting for the new novel to come out. Have to add my latest discovery to the list. Neal Stephenson is simply amazing. As for music, well... Loads of different stuff. Mostly music I don't play at work. Guess I don't want to bring too much work home. :-) This great webpage keeps track of whatever stuff I've been listening to lately.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Swam with dolphins in Cuba. I know it's not very nice to support all this stuff they do with captive dolphins, but I couldn't resist it. And I was glad for every minute of it!
My Interests
Music (all sorts), books, languages, travels (obviously), scuba diving, cooking, life in general. Oh, and I recently discovered karate! I'm not using it on people though. (At least not yet.:)
