Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am advocate for the sharing economy. I even wrote a paper about it! http://content.ces.ncsu.edu/using-web-marketplaces-to-reach-untapped-markets
In particular, Couchsurfing is outstanding because it enables people to travel in a more affordable manner, while at the same time meeting interesting locals and knowing their "insider" stories!

Music, Movies, and Books
