Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I give you hot shower, fast email, fantastic local food and some wine or 'shine, with expert advice on the next leg of the journey. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE CS a wonderful way to meet likemindeds in strange cities.
Music, Movies, and Books
I read compulsively, listen to any group with a live drummer at least once, but as for movies, cut to the chase.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
My Testarossa, the birth of our boy, racing on horseback against languid giraffes, ghost hunting, being chased up a tree by black rhino, the Nissan GT-R, compiling a tripe safari, 1975 KWV Roodeberg wine, being published in hardback, saving a choking woman's life with the Heimlich hug, soft rain in the Kalahari desert.
Teach, Learn, Share
Dream in detail, it happens - eventually. Do unto others what you want yourself, it returns - soon.
