Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have only surfed so far, but plan to host upon my return.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Two great surfs, with two kind and accomodating people, in Madrid, Spain.

Interests

I write poetry and short fiction. Escribo poesia y cuentos. I play soccer occasionally. Juego futbol. And I cook/eat curry, Indo-chinese and Indian. Como/cocino currry, de Indo-china u India. I ride my bicycle regularly, to commute. Ando por bicicleta frecuentemente, para viajar. I enjoy walking, too, for long stretches of pavement. Disfruto pasear, tambien, porque es la mejor manera de conocer un lugar y su pueblo.

I have taken about taichi and qigong, which are more strenous than the calm practicioners in parks lead one to believe. Practico taichi y chi kung, los cuales son mas dificiles que las demostraciones en parques me dirigian creer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a man in Seattle, standing on the Space Needle. The crowd thought he was going to jump. Did he? I didn't watch. Vi un hombre en Seattle, levantado en el Space Needle. El gentio pensaba que el iba a saltar. Salto? No le mire.

I visited the mausoleum of Bob Marley. Visite el mausoleo de Bob Marley
