Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This is the first time I will be participating! But I am hoping to meet some interesting people and experience cities with some locals, and then begin hosting people when I return home at the end of the summer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet -- I just joined! But I have heard such great things about CouchSurfing and the CS community, so I am excited to be a part of it.

Interests

Likes: Good grammar (and enforcing same), British TV shows (Skins, Doctor Who, Downton Abbey, etc.), travel, oversized jewelry, spicy food, and celebrity memoirs. Firm believer that there is no such thing as "bad" coffee.
Dislikes: Mornings, people who purposely misspell words in order to be cutesy, humidity.
