Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Me and my friends stayed with some really nice/helpful people last summer throughout eastern europe. Since then we've had several people stay in our london flat, usually in groups of 4 or more from crazy cool countries... it's always been a guaranteed laugh-a-minute verging on ridiculous experience, especially because we're all sharing rooms as it is to save money so the house is packed - we're pretty much our own hostel sometimes! COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I've learnt more facts through my couch hosts than I'd ever learn from an organised tour - it's definately worth it to get an inside view on cities/countries and I've met some pretty amazing people through the whole ordeal.
Music, Movies, and Books
Most music except for techno and hardcore. Heaps of books...I really enjoy books by j.d salinger, john steinback, f scott fitzgerald, jane austen, james frey, and the guy that wrote Angela's Ashes i like his style. I like if not can appreciate most movies (sometimes only from a film student's perspective) but I'm not such a fan of horror or action.
