Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on CouchSurfing because I have heard about it for a few years now from various people and about how wonderful it is. Traveling is one of my greatest passions. I am always exploring and I want to see the whole world. One of the most economical ways to do so is obviously through CouchSurfing. It is also a way to meet new people and learn new things about the places they live in as well as their culture. Life is a constant exchange of information and new ideas and concepts and the best way to do so is to travel and meet new and exciting people who are willing to be open to as well as part of that exchange.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is my life, my love, my passion. It is how I breathe. I am open to and enjoy many types of music. anything from jazz to pop to alternative. However, I am not a fan or heavy metal, classic rock, country and oldies. But again I am open. Over the past year and a half, my musical taste has undergone a drastic yet vital change to music of a different frequency and sound different from any time in my life prior. I am not too sure of what the genre and or genres actually are, mostly music that is soothing yet upbeat and retro-esque. Over the years I have not been into reading the way i would have liked to have been and have not read many books. I am beginning to change that now. The Great Gatsby, in my opinion, is one of the greatest literary works of all times. Another great book that i have read recently is Comfortable With Uncertainty by Pema Chodron. Movies in order of rank, Brigadoon, The Moulin Rouge, It's a Wonderful Life, Mean Girls, V for Vendetta, Big Fish, The Way of the Peaceful Warrior and many more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I feel that I have done many amazing things in my short yet fruitful life and will continue to. one of the most recent and notable things that I feel is something amazing, happened this past summer when I hiked mt. Washington in New Hampshire. It took us nine hours and a lot of sweat but myself along with two amazing friends, made in up and down the mountain. I consider this as something amazing due to the height of the mountain (6,288 ft) and the size of me. A small person like all of us, yet capable of such a great feet having only began hiking this summer and climbing only one other mountain prior. I see it as an accomplishment as well as training to conquer much more throughout my lifetime.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I only hope that I can share the same thing with hosts as they can with me. Knowledge, new ideas, experiences, kindness, compassion, generosity, openness, friendliness, laughs, light and a new perspective perhaps.
