About Me

Greetings, CouchSurfers! I'm Adolfo. I'm a free soul, and love spending time with free spirits. This is the place for it, ain't it?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I joined in late 2011 I've hosted a lot of people and participated in a bunch of events, all over the world. CS is a great way to meet cool people: it seems everybody that does it is awesome!

Interests

I love the following equally well, and in no particular order: reading, running barefoot, standup paddling, playing flight simulators, riding a motorcycle aimlessly, swimming at night in a warm pool, XKCD, and sleeping on a mountain and under the stars. Oh, and of course, couchsurfing!

  • running
  • motorcycles
  • reading
  • billiards
  • hiking
  • swimming

Music, Movies, and Books

Books. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but the following are some of my favorites: Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, McDougall's Born to Run, Bryson's A Walk in the Woods, Ende's Neverending Story, Asimov's Foundation, and Krakauer's Into the Wild.

Movies? Cosmos, Alive, any Woody Allen flick, 2001, The Empire Strikes Back (Han shot first!).

Music! Jazz, Blues, Madeleine Peyroux, Lady Gaga (no, seriously!).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen clouds rush toward me at eye-level under a clear sky, and then proceed to try and blow me off a mountain. Nothing beats the awe and helplessness when faced with the failty of our bodies.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a little about computers, motorcycles, and hiking. I'd love to learn a little more German!
