我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a very active person so I love to be involved in group conversations and activities. I love to listen to other people though, be it stories, knowledge, random exclamations or whatever forms of communication they may choose.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experience so far has been great. I've done a fair bit of surfing here and there but for the most part I have used it as a forum to meet people in foreign cities that I have recently moved too. CS seems like a pretty decent filter for the social butterflies amongst us!

音乐、电影和书籍

I'm addicted to audiobooks of all shapes and forms

I've been enjoying Deep Forest's self titled album recently (psychedelic melodic kinda stuff - try it!).

The last film I watched was Tampopo - bizarre 80's Japanese films about the art of Ramen. very sensual, very odd.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Watching me get off my skinny white ass and make into Uni (not the most interesting or exciting but possibly the most remarkable).

教，学，和分享

I saw something on Japanese TV the other day that was so hilarious I have decided to share it with you.
