Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting vagabonds mostly.

Interests

Being out and about amongst the nature, the sun, snow, the beach, mountains and forests, live music, exploring, hiking off the trail, yoga, books, looking at art, cooking, testing my boundaries, crossing my boundaries, laying in a hammock overlooking the water and reading a book or day dreaming, anything adventurous/dangerous/new, and good company of course.

Music, Movies, and Books

Seeing live music is one of my favourite things to do. I like a lot of genres bar most of that top40 rubbish. You can keep your umbrella, ella, ella.

A few of the books I've liked are: The Dice Man, The Chrysalids, Day of the Triffids, Catch 22, 1984, The Sea Came in at Midnight, Dance, Dance, Dance, All Quiet on the Western Front, Mao II, The Sound And The Fury and Half a Yellow Sun... I'm reading lots of Buddhist and yogic themed things lately.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once caught a plastic bag with a fishing line. Don't litter.
