我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My travels around the world would not have been possible without the kindness of strangers. There is no way to repay these people so I can only extend a helping hand to other people in need.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most of my couchsurfing has been with people whom I met traveling that invited me to stay with them. I have couchsurfed a several times with people met through this site. I look forward to hosting people myself.

教，学，和分享

I know a lot about many things but am a master of nothing. Ask me about tofu making, wooden boat construction, photography, farming with draft horses and/or oxen, sailing, no-knead bread making, broom making, or anything else I've mentioned in my profile.

I am always keen to hear or learn about great movies, interesting schools, ways of reusing or repurposing stuff, favorite or and interesting places/events, craft, human connection, stories, and anything else that is awesome.
