我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I love the timeless way of traveling, of being welcomed in from the cold in strange lands and sharing stories and news. Impersonal accommodation feels chilly and partly defeats the point of travel, even when it is affordable to me.

I'm nomadic at the moment, but plan to settle in Tirol in Austria next year. I'd treasure the opportunity to practice my Deutsch, even if it's just meeting up for a walk, and I'd especially treasure making a new friend from Austria.

I'm living in Dahab, Egypt right now; there's usually a spare room in the house and I might be able to host you if we meet first and it feels right; normally I would be less careful but I'm being hosted by my dear godmother. and need to think of my own host's tranquility.

兴趣

I'm interested in Reality, in its full labyrinthine horror and enchantment. My favorite experience is noticing a hidden passageway in the labyrinth of reality, or when a tangle comes undone and reveals an elegant simplicity in the seeming chaos.

教，学，和分享

I can listen and share for any amount of time about mysticism... perhaps you might encounter a new perspective or we might stumble on a new angle mid-chat.
I know how to have an exciting day in the mountains if you'd like companionship.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can tidy and cook.
I can help with pet things while present (I've had animals all my life, wolves, pigeons, a starling who would say hello love, doves, parakeets, dogs, bunnies, chickens, sheep, ducks, a peacock and a llama).
