HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I signed up a couple of years ago and haven't really participated. I'd like to change that.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed with friends or friends of friends, in Africa, Europe, and Asia. It's nice to have the company and the local perspective.

Interests

I love to read, especially nonfiction: science, politics. I'm a big fan of movies, but not of television.
