Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE The best thing about CS is the ability to meet other people... we can't wait to travel in our RV across the US and meet other like-minded people and families... we won't even need a couch... we're using CS to meet people along the way.
Music, Movies, and Books
Movies? Too many to list... Music? Mostly Classic Rock and Roll... the concerts in Europe are the best! The greatest concerts I've been to are the Wall in Berlin, 1990... dancing with Chuck Berry in Salzburg, Austria, Roger Waters at the Shoreline (SF Bay) and a small courtyard concert of Elton John in Salzburg (not to mention the many of the Grateful Dead, best one was in Frankfurt, Germany, 1990. Books? Mostly philosophical and non-fiction... but I did read all of the classics from the local library here in Ukraine.
