Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I haven't surfed through couchsurfing yet (though stayed at heaps of friends' houses on my last trip back to the UK), but I've hosted over a dozen couchsurfers now, and without exception they've all been neat people to meet. Friendly and open, and all interesting in their own unique ways. So, my experience as a host has been 100% positive!
Music, Movies, and Books
Movies - I enjoy a broad range, but my favouites tend to be quirky and/or thought-provoking. Music varies with mood, though I tend more towards rock rather than rap, indie rather than country. If you have music with you, feel free to play it. :-) As for books, too many to list! Want to take one with you on your travels?
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I competed in the finals of the International World Rock Paper Scissors Championship in Toronto in November!
Teach, Learn, Share
I'll gladly teach you magic tricks, rock-paper-scissors strategies, card games, self-hypnosis, or the fine art of talking nonsense. And I love to learn new things, the randomer the better. :-)
My Interests
My curiosity spreads itself pretty widely, and the philosophical side to me likes to look deeply, so between the two of them, that doesn't leave much to be bored by. That said, rock-paper-scissors, half-baking (www.halfbakery.com) and self-awareness are three of my biggest interests at the moment, though not necessarily in that order. :-)
