我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

so far have surfed a few times in the american west and canada..all have been great! Lately though we have received a lot of impersonal requests. If you are interested in staying with please write : "Welding Bikes" in your request or you will be denied. Looking forward to hosting some people wherever we land in the future. At the moment we can only accept guests on WEEKENDS and due to our busy schedules will only be occasionally hosting people. Very happy to meet up with international travelers for coffee and to share tips. Also happy to take people out to the peninsula.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Almost always good with a few bad apples.

音乐、电影和书籍

Movies : Russian Ark, Withnail and I, The Mighty Boosh (cheating, i know), Lost in Translation, When we were Kings or any good documentary, Peter Jackson, and really thought provoking comedies

Books: Anything in City Lights bookshop

Music: Really just about anything. Grateful Dead and Flaming Lips roll off the tongue. Miles Davis, Art and Craft, Talking Heads....on and on..I also love podcasts ranging from Alan Watts to Buddhists and Daoist lectures to 'conspiracy' theories and even football gambling lines.

I have been on a V.S. Naipaul post colonial study lately..hmm maybe leaving one empire to live in the remnants of a fading one has tainted my world view? Any suggestions on books about Portugese explorers?

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Manali-Leh on a motorbike...absolutely incredible. From the beautiful town of Keylong to 5600 meter passes to harsh sand dunes on top of the world. Simply stunning.
