PHILOSOPHY

I find that I learn more by watching and listening than talking too much (although I might be good at that too). Go outside though, see what you can see.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Spreading the good word. Surfing when I can, hosting when my roommate is a nut (and otherwise). Are there meetings? I got to get with this stuff.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Riding bikes all night in Vienna, walking the precarious path in Bratislava, walking the streets of Guatemala City, sleeping on the bathroom floor in Linz, and, more recently, having people come and stay with me. It's pretty sweet, I can tell you all kind of inane things about Seattle that you won't get elsewhere.

Living, everywhere.

People, you.

音乐、电影和书籍

My favorite Czech author is Hrabal. My favorite ancient philosopher is Aristotle, my favorite modern philosopher is Mortimer J. Adler, my favorite fantasy series is Dragonlance but my favorite fantasy author is R.A. Salvatore and lately my favorite all-around author is Ernest Hemingway. I read pretty much everything though as I've nearly had to since leaving the US and I love it.

I had a top 5 list of movies once, I think it had Full Metal Jacket, Fight Club, Devil's Advocate and I don't remember what else on it. It's at least 10 years old. More recently I'd add The Wind the Shakes the Barley, Goodbye Lenin and Blame if on Fidel.

Music, I don't know, I cruise around youtube often trying to short it out.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

New Orleans was pretty amazing. Oktoberfest can't be compared. Mt. Rainer from the Aurora Bridge on a clear day is spectacular, so is the top of Whistler and the sea. Europe is splendid. Volcan Pacaya isn't as hard as people would have you believe but worth the trip. Tikal was interesting, a huge place from a, largely, dead society. Semuc Champey reigns as my favorite spot in Guatemala. Still going and seeing though, it's all be good.

教，学，和分享

I can teach you about beer, English, a foreigners perspective on the Czech Republic or Guatemala, an Idahoans perspective on the world (both mine and a "typical" Idahoan). I can teach you how to read a book, how to swear and how to sleep on a floor. I could try and teach you some Czech or Spanish or German although that might not go as well.

I want to learn any languages you speak that I don't. I want to learn about your place, where you live. I want to find out what it's like and what it's about.

I also want to learn to cook. I've realized this recently. TEACH ME!

Share - experiences, new ones and old.

If you want to surf with me then make sure you let me know which place I've been you find the most interesting. This is one of those things people put to be sure you actually read their profile.
