Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Recently joined happy to host and of course to be hosted. Been hosted. Its nice just to feel that you can treat someone like a friend pretty much immediately

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Beginner

Interests

Swimming in the sea, exercising in the garden, park, or garage, walking for miles and miles in the countryside, reading history, politics, and what could be considered 'subversive' literature.

Drinking cider and partying.

Also enjoying drinking coffee and reading the paper.

Music, Movies, and Books

Science fiction (e.g. Soylent Green). In the Loop. Something I watched again recently and really liked even more than the first time was Baz Lurhman's Romeo & Juilet.

Drum n bass - the atmospheric type

Like reading. Currently reading Weick's Social Psychology of Organizing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming around an island near the mainland, swimming out of strong current getting washed off a rock and scaling a cliff.

Nights in the deep countryside looking at the stars.

Discovering new music, making new music
