Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I tried out Couchsurfing a few years ago on a trip to Alaska and met some great people so I'd love to give it another go!
Music, Movies, and Books
Books: Harry Potter series, "Neither Here Nor There: Travels in Europe," "City Room," "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking," "New York," "The Giver" Movies: "Fiddler on the Roof," "Back to the Future" trilogy, "Antz," "Dirty Dancing," "Mean Girls" Music: I usually go for songs that are more upbeat, but I'm open to listening to pretty much anything (or at least giving it a try).
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I'm not a big fan of guns, but when I lived in Israel I shot an M-16 as part of an "experience-the-army" trip. I've also been to Antarctica, that was pretty cool. :)
What I Can Share With Hosts
If you have anything that needs editing (resumes, essays, etc.) I'd be more than happy to help! I also make great macaroni and cheese.
