HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC:
Lots of stuff..very eclectic tastes. (alternative, indie-rock, chillout-lounge, drum'n'bass, jazz, dub, electro-pop, garage rock, indie-folk, world, trip-hop, soul/funk... I did say eclectic.) But I really don't care much for repetitive stuff with no originality.

MOVIES:
Far too many to list, includes comedies, foreign, dramas, action, old films (anything all the way back to old silent films), sinister kiwi movies and martial arts films with bad voiceovers.

BOOKS:
Beautiful picture books, classics, New Zealand authors.. Recommend something for me to read. I love reading. I deliberately read slowly (no book gobbling) - that way I have more time to reflect over the content.

I guess really that I have completely eclectic tastes in everything. You could perhaps say that I like stuff.
