Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For most of February I'll be in France, so I'll mostly be looking for people to meet and places to stay. I'll be spending all of March wandering across america, so I'll be looking for much the same.April and beyond, who knows! But maybe I'll have a place to live by then and will be able to have couchsurfers stay with me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have yet to officially couchsurf. I've slept on many couches, however.Looking forward to meeting people and so on.

Interests

Film, literature, politics, adventures, moons, wolves.My whole life is caught in the movies and I've spent hours and hours between book covers, exploring worlds that almost exist.
