Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My roommate and I hosted a girl once. She was nice. We got breakfast before she left. It was nice.

Most recently, I hosted two wonderful Polish gents (who were put in contact with me by a friend via CS) in Amman over the New Year and they were wonderful guests and a welcome addition to my New Year's Eve party...I am just waiting for them to their own Couchsurfing account, so I can say as much on their profiles.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have an abnormal sense of humor that runs the gamut from dry and quirky to slapstick, and so my movie choices reflect that. However, I enjoy a good drama/suspense film just as often. I read just about anything. My favorite classic novel is Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables", but for contemporary fiction I really enjoy Stephen King. My musical tastes are just as varied and some of my favorites across all genres include: Elvis, The Guess Who, The Who, The Decemberists, Chromeo, The New Pornographers, Elliot Smith, Ryan Adams, Nickelcreek, and the list goes on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
