Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I have hosted many people at my home in New Zealand and look forward to crashing on a few couches in the near future. By sharing my home, culture and opinions with others and respectfully learning about theirs in return, I feel like I contribute positively to the couchsurfing project. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Have met a lot of lovely people since I started hosting... its definitely a really cool way to meet interesting poeple and to keep the energies of love and generosity flowing.

Films: Alternative, film festival style, anything but hollywood... Music: Very broad range, but especially lounge, chill, reggae, indi, jazz, blues, dub, house, hip hop, and drum & bass.
