someone told me about it when i first discovered solo traveling in 2006. i liked the concept. i hesitated. i joined. i've been enamored by the experiences surfing and hosting ever since. now that i'm a bit settled, i'm happy to keep the couch karma cycling by hosting more.

i'll rattle off some favorites of recent... LISTEN: juana molina, simon and garfunkel, modest mouse, the beach boys, chad vangaalen, townes van zandt, timber timbre, mulatu astatke, manu chao, kurt vile, califone, victor jara, jessica pratt, django reinhardt READ: one river, shantaram, even cowgirls get the blues, kafka on the shore, juan salvador gaviota, log from the sea of cortez WATCH: kung fu, westerns, bob ross, surf/skate flicks, miyazaki, waking life, diarios de motocicleta, ...this list is too long, but i could go on--pretty much all the oldies and the goodies :)
