Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people on my motorcycle travels that have stories to share or are passionate about something and can host me for a night. Doesn't hurt if they are open minded, friendly and adventurous. A big bonus if you have a sense of humor and don't take yourself or life too seriously. Politics and religion are my least favorite things to talk about. That's my list for Santa but if all else fails a blanket on a cold hard concrete floor in a damp room is cool too.

Interests

Motorcycle traveling. Motorcycle Mechanics. Photography. Electronic Music Making. Videography. Reading. Writing. Running. Golf. Snowboarding.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
Pretty omnivorous but have a soft spot between my ears for electronic music. Siriusmo, Above and Beyond, to name something. I used to play the classical guitar so let's throw J.S. Bach in the mix too (classy eh?) Through CS I discovered I love to play drums!

Movies:
Pulp Fiction. Big Lebowski. Team America. Fight Club. There are other cliches but let's just leave it at that.

Books:
Recently read books that struck a cord..
Man's Search for Meaning. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Oliver Sacks' autobiography. Radical Acceptance. Breakfast of Champions.
