我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to host when i can but am currently working and living at a hotel. Right now I am looking to surf for short periods in north america and south america. I would also love to be a part of the local community here in Cabarete even if I can't host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a number of times under my sisters profile since we live together. Check her profile here: http://www.couchsurfing.org/profile.html?id=GQDFWEU&from_search&search_ranking_names=1
and i've travelled through the south of spain and barcelona with my friend marley under our joint profile:

音乐、电影和书籍

lots of books, lots of music... hmm I recently read and loved 'The Sisters Brothers' and 'Born to Run'. Other all time favorites are anything by Murakami and No Country for Old Men, and the Great Gatsby. I love indie music, rap, hip hop, reggae, and some electro pop stuff. Not to savy with names etc unfortunately.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

1) Experiencing the grave and spooky feeling of being in the slave dungeons on the Cape Coast in Ghana.
2) Hiking up my local mountain at home: Mt. Benson on a misty cool morning with my sister and my best friend. not a sole in site. freezing cold west coast fall fog hanging low - and all of us in t-shirts grinning like idiots and laughing hysterically.
3) warm water surfing for the first time during my time in the Dominican Republic and realizing that I live 10 minutes away from a world class surf break - and I dont have to wear a wet suit!!!!!!!
