Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, staying at a friend's friend's really modern house a block away from Venice beach was really nice last year.
Recently, I was surfing in Canada. The people are great up there. Remember to stock up at the duty free for your hosts before crossing the border =)

Interests

Many, many, many. I could say I'm a snob but it's better to just experience me. I could be the opossite too. Depends where I am. Chameleons are fun.

" Then one morning he turned from the crude blackboard and saw a face eight years old and a body of fourteen with the female shape of twenty, which on the instant of crossing the threshold brought into the bleak, ill-lighted, poorly-heated roo, dedicated to the harsh functioning of Protestant primary education a moist blast of spring's liquorish corruption, a pagan triumphal prostration before the supreme primal uterus."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sky dived. Rode an off road skateboard with a two stroke engine on a rainy night down museum mile in the middle lane.
Purple squid
Lots of stuff, let's trade memory cards.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm slowly finding the good dimsum spots in china town and they aren't pretty, hehe. If you want a good bicycling tour when the weather's fine, I know most of the boroughs in NYC.
If you ever go to San Francisco, don't rent a bike, buy one from good will or salvation army. Purchase price will be cheaper than a day's rent and you'll have a great way to know the city.
Go to Venezuela. It's not such a scary place as everyone makes it out to be.
