我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I moved back to the US, I was couch-surfing on relative's couches, but I had the chance to stay at my old roommate's apt in San Francsico, Ca and host a couch-surfer from Kazakhstan.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In addition to formal couch surfing through this project I have often hosted ppl at my apts. From 2005-2007 (the last time I actually had an apt!) my roommates and I hosted 5 couch-surfers who were friends of friends for different lengths of time form a couple days to several months.

兴趣

Hosting the guest from Kasakhstan was really fun, I was able to show her around, help her navigate the public transport system, and we had a great time chatting and learning about each other's cultures. I Hope I have a chance to meet many fascinating ppl through the CS project.

音乐、电影和书籍

enjoy adventure/comedy/sci fi - not a fan of horror. Super sad movies can be well made and some of my favorites, but I rarely choose to watch them over other genres.
