Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently in Germany and I cannot host anyone but I�d love to meet up and show people what there is to see in Darmstadt

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went to Nice, France and met a wonderful French guy who let my friend and I stay in his empty apartment--an amazing first couchsurfing experience! and then, last weekend, I met some couchsurfers in Darmstadt who showed us around. overall, i've been very impressed with couchsurfing :)

Music, Movies, and Books

hmm this one's hard. as for movies, I really love Crash, Thelma and Louise, and la Vie des Autres.

as for books, 1984 and the Unbearable Lightness of Being, East of Eden, and the Inhabited Woman are really great books.

as for music, I like lots of different kinds of music. right now, in Germany, I've been listening to a lot of Southeastern United States country music, since I'm so far from home, but I also love Feist, the Be Good Tanyas, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I completed the Country Music Marathon in Nashville, Tennessee in 2004. It was amazing :)

Teach, Learn, Share

well, I speak English and French and some Spanish, so I could help anyone with any of these languages. As for what I can share? Well, i can share what I've learned so far about development banks in Latin America, this is one of my newfound favorite topics!
