Why I'm on Couchsurfing
If I'm traveling, I love meeting local people and making new friends. Whenever I'm in a different place, it is the people I meet that makes my experience the most memorable. I love being able to share and exchange cultures and stories of past inspiration and future places to go. If I'm hosting, I love sharing enthusiasm for my amazing city with visitors. And anyone that values travel and exploration of a foreign place is someone I would like to meet, so it's a great way to meet new friends! It takes an open mind and heart to value something like couchsurfing, so I think the people that love it make for an awesome community of cool people :).
Music, Movies, and Books
Music-indie rock and jazz. Movies-I watch a lot of French films these days-Eric Rohmer and Cedric Klapisch are cool; Veber is good for language skills improvement. Books-Great Gatsby, most Murakami, World According to Garp, many more.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
