HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Wow, we just got started with CS and we're very excited. Not sure where to begin!

Interessi

Damon: Our human family lives at the intersecting boundaries of language, culture, politics, nature and technology. I am interested in how real people adapt to these large forces as they combine, conflict and merge: where a Nepali woman of buddhist heritage negotiates business in three languages on her cell phone, and a monolingual white American drives a hundred miles to ride his mountain bike. Where can we go from here? I also like beer and sports.
