Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

just started but can't wait to get my feet wet

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

without couchsurfing my european experience would not have sufficed

Interests

social and environmental justice for all - spreading love, practicing peaceful coexistence and channeling my strengths to help ensure a better tomorrow

  • culture
  • traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

must-see movies: anything with johnny depp!!! but also crash, sin city, traffic, life is beautiful, amelie, the motorcycle diaries, the emperor's new groove

what sets my groove: any and everything - especially spanish rock, french rap/afro-punk, and sufi instrumentals!

great reads: the good earth, the kite runner, like water for chocolate, the god of small things, (and currently working on) the unlikely disciple
