As for the rest-- my references can tell you a lot more about me than I can :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Breaking stereotypes about U.S. Americans, one Couchsurfer at a time.

I've hosted people from places as diverse as São Paulo, Paris, and Mecca. I've surfed in Montreal, Mexico City, Ljubljana, Trieste, Bucharest, Yerevan, Chisinau, Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, São Paulo, and Minsk.

Interests

Politics, law, languages, world music, books. Trying to make myself disciplined. Failing. Trying again.
