Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My couchsurfing experience was mostly disconnected from the internet. I occasionally host friends of friends for some nights, and gladly wander around the (un)holy city with them. In recent years, however, I've been on the move. Hitch-hiking through New York State, for instance, two lovely strangers, teachers in the local public school of Ancramdale, took me and my friends in for a night and showed us the beautiful house they built with their own hands over years. So when it comes to CS, the utility precedes the tool.

Interests

I write a blog about my political experiences and thoughts: http://radicalmonkeyclown.wordpress.com/
Enjoy drinking good coffee over good conversations.
I like to read about a great idea, wander about, think about the idea a little bit, and then come back to read it again.
I love learning languages and dance moves and jazz tunes and hitch-hiking tricks.
