我为什么使用Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I have hosted a couple of people in the past and I've surfed a few times back when I was in the Midwest. I am currently in my hometown of San Diego but I live in my ADU tiny house so it's a tiny 150sf space that can't really fit guests.
音乐、电影与书籍
Music: Anything really. It's gotta have a good beat. Never liked country Favorite Movies: Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, and basically anything Marvel. I get so nostalgic of my comic book collecting days as a kid. Current Book: Between the World and Me Favorites: Caste, Grapes of Wrath, Affluenza, The Well Dressed Ape, The Demon-Haunted World
我做过的一件令人惊叹的事
Drove 6 hours, by myself, in the twilight hours, through the Peruvian desert, to watch condors soaring on thermals over a cliff overlooking a beautiful valley at Cruz del Condor.
教学、学习、分享
Building things is a hobby and I have done quite a bit of home remodeling. I can give lots of tips that can help a home remodel but hopefully I won't be asked to remodel a kitchen while couch surfing... unless it is somewhere in France on a Villa, then we can make a deal! ;) As far as hobbies go, I can teach some rock climbing skills, I've done plenty of long backpacking trips, and would share any of the camping, hiking, backpacking skills that I have.
我的兴趣
The outdoors keeps me going, camping, hiking, rock climbing, running, playing sports. I am always interested in the local coffee spot, breakfast food is what keeps me going, and I like to read and write, although I'm not a great writer. As far as bigger interests are concerned, travel is mandatory and I really love to meet locals wherever I'm at and see the spots that they frequent as opposed to the "top 10" of a given city.
