Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING We host when we can, and surf when we are abroad! COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE We have had the best experiences with Couchsurfing. Mo discovered couchsurfing when she took a 7 week trip to Europe with some friends. Mo and her sister Mel then continued to host about 15 different couchsurfing groups while they shared an apartment in the last few years. A few years back, we couchsurfed in Israel and had a great time with Noa in Haifa and Mike in Tel Aviv. Most recently, we were hosted by Yahya in Istanbul, who showed us incredible hospitality and an amazing night out.
Music, Movies, and Books
All kinds of movies except horror! Classic and international films are favorites. All kinds of music. Zac is a music fiend constantly finding music from all over the world, and Mo is obsessed with Jack White. Lots of books, Zac mostly likes nonfiction and Mo likes fiction. Read The Beach!!! It's the best traveling thriller book ever.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Traveling is the most amazing thing someone can see or do!
Teach, Learn, Share
Zac likes to talk politics and loves to make mix CDs of bands you've never heard of. Mo can teach you how to sew or knit. From both of us you can count on conversation into the night.
What I Can Share With Hosts
A lot of stories and fun.
My Interests
Art, movies, music, books, theater, good food, fancy mixed drinks, cheap wine and good times.
