Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This summer (2011) I am spending traveling and living in new areas, hopefully CouchSurfing a bit in between backpacking and climbing. After I get back to school, I will have a couple open couches for other CouchSurfers.

Music, Movies, and Books

For books, I absolutely love reading things by Kurt Vonnegut, Jack Kerouac, John Krakauer, Tolkien, Cormac McCarthy, and Edward Abbey.

Pretty much any music is good. Recently I've been listening to a lot of Neutral Milk Hotel, The Tallest Man on Earth, Rural Alberta Advantage, SoKo, and Phantogram.

The same goes for movies, I'll watch pretty much anything. Some of my favorites include Amelie, City of God, and Little Miss Sunshine.
