Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just heard about CS three days before I leave for China. I hope to meet cool people this summer while traveling and host some people once I settle into my new job in the fall.

Interests

Love learning languages, books, movies, music of all kinds, art, walking, and playing games of all types. I enjoy eating new foods and meeting new people. Sometimes a concert or party is just the thing!

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to name here! I love music from all over the world, especially from the USA, China, Mexico, West Africa and Europe. Enjoy reading science fiction and fantasy as well as history and science books. Films from all countries and styles can be great-- anything from people talking about ideas to a bunch of explosions, it's all good.
