Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment we can't host anyone (new community plus rennovation plus new baby), but I like to meet up for coffee and the like.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosting: We host often, though not exclusively through this website.
Surfing: I haven't surfed this side of the couch often, but when I have it has been absolutely awesome. Three cheers for all our former hosts.

Interests

I LIKE writing, post apocalyptic lit, gravely voices, anthropology, cooking, letters, dark beer, trains, packages in the mail, science fiction, abandoned buildings, books, secret identities, surprise dance parties, the sound of rain on the roof, late-night adventures, bikes, vegan potlucks, typewriters, graffiti (especially stencils), farmer's markets, used book stores, pirates, scavenging, and freshly baked bread.

I DON'T LIKE dubbed movies, temper tantrums, capitalism, fast food, wage slavery, or amusement parks.
