I travel around Europe on my motorcycle and I like the idea meeting/ staying with locals when I visit new cities. I am looking for people to enjoy my adventures with and experience the local flavor of the cities I visit. If I've requested a stay it's because I read your profile and we have something in common I'd like to do with you. I also like beer. I can't find locally what I like most so I started brewing my own. There are also so many cities with breweries that I will not be able to try all of them, so I very much appreciate that if I host you that you bring a local beer from where you live. Other ways to increase your probability of staying with me would be to have some references as well as host some surfers. I like to host guests who equally give back to the community. I like to host surfers with similar interests and if I agree to host you it's because I have time to show you around or do dinner with you in the evening. I kid you not, I get a request a day from a surfer looking for a host in the summer time. If you are going to just send a generic e-mail request, don't. That will save me the bother of having to decline you. Let me know in your request why you want ME specifically to host you.

I bicycled 5000km from Seattle, Washinton to Washinton D.C. over the summer in 2011. It was a great experience and I wrote a book about it. I sea kayaked up to a glacier as it was calving in the ocean. Got married at St. Michael's cave in the Rock of Gibraltar. Caught a 160 kg tuna fish in the straights of Gibraltar.
