Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am using it for places to stay while I travel for dance commissions and dance training. I think this a great service to help me travel and see the world while doing what I love. I can grow and contribute more as an artist if I can experience more.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most music except for country.
My favorite types are books are all non-fiction which include genres like: fantasy, adventure, mystery, romance, action/superhero, and sci-fi.
