Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

spread the gospel, about couchsurfing that is. oh yeah, and by hanging-ten too!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

while on bike tour in so. cal. last winter we pulled into Lompac, which had one CSer at the time, ten minutes before the library closes and shoot garrett an email, and he hasn't logged on in two months. five minutes after the library has kicked us out the cell phone rings and it's garrett, he says this is where I live, this is how you get there, see you in a few. When we get to his house his mom comes out and gives us a gallon bag full of fresh homemade chocolate chip cookies!!! Couchsurf and the people who participate are amazingly beautiful.

Music, Movies, and Books

just finished Walden/Sand County Almanac while solo backpacking throughout the bob marshall/selway bitterroot wildernesses, apt books for such adventures, it's crazy how little society has changed.
Phish!!! these guys are out of this world... and anything else with profound and or silly lyrics, and anything you can dance to.
