我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

It's a great resource for meeting up with people at home and abroad. Would give you confidence in the kindness of strangers and makes travel less stressful 'cos everybody needs a friendly guide sometimes to point you in the right direction.

兴趣

Moving, histories and myths, people and animals, oceans, deserts, the weather, running uphill backwards, strange delirious tongues, great ideas, parties, celebrations, rituals, firesides and starlight, malbec and syrah.
