HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Trying to learn about local culture and traditions by staying with people in the area. Basically trying to sponge up as much as I can, while sharing my experiences as well. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Every time has been a pleasant time, so far. Hanging out with the host(s) really brings the city experience to life.

I love short stories. Asimov and Chiang on the sci-fi side, and Flannery O'Connor and Chris Adrian on the metaphysical/spiritual side. Movies? Well I like Studio Ghibli films, documentaries, and The Lion King. For music, anything I can karaoke to. Seriously.
