I’ve autographed prints before, and my paintings… but last night (Day 58), I was asked if I could autograph one of my business cards! It’s a nice feeling. That was by one of the Couch 23 roommates. The original roommate, David, had enthusiastically called me (after I e-mailed a couching request) that […]

So…. I’m not crazy about Mickey Mouse…. but… imagine going to Disney, seeing the shows, but then going and hanging out w/ Mickey & friends at his house. Well.. that’s what the last 2 days were like. I left Janet’s place, and was heading to New Mexico— despite not having a couch there […]

It’s so easy to be lazy, and work…. I don’t mean being lazy as in “sit around and watch TV” (although MySpace sucks up more time than I’d like it to), I mean that since I have tens of thousands of photos to go through from this trip alone… and writing new content.. and editing […]

As I’ve been mentioning (not whining) - I’m doing everything on my own (help is appreciated, nto turned away), including building the site, driving, finding my next couch, writing, photography, videography, editing, etc…. so, yes- I may be a bit more than a month behind on adding some of the photos. A lot […]

Today I sat around and worked on Cari’s site– until it was time to go do the shoot. The shoot’ee (model) was Anastacia . The shoot was to thank her for being the volunteer model for my Saturday workshop. The location was donated by one of my students, who later became Couch […]

I admit, the 1st day I was not fully prepared when soimeone asked what my background was…. I recited every single thing I had ever done in my life– eek! Thankfully, a lot of that is mildly relevant. The seminar improved as the day progressed. The model was a sweetheart, Anastacia. […]

Thank you, Couch #5! I love it!
Hey everyone! I got my own song… check it out!

I also had Couch #5 play the chords, and instruct on how to play this song… so… keep an eye out– coming soon is a “Make your own CouchSurfingOri Song” section… complete with looping mp3’s, […]

After hanging out with Jeffery Scott, and talking to a few other talented people that I will be interviewing shortly, I felt like doing a Photoshop image… since it’s Valentine’s Day– an overcomercialized “holiday” that helps the economy, but makes a majority of people feel like there’s something wrong with them… or creates terrible expectations […]

So… I’m trying this other video hosting service. It’s called Revver. Supposedly the quality is higher than on Live Video. I saw it on this awesome thing called Hitch50 - these 2 guys who hitchhiked across all 50 states in 50 days! How cool is that??
Anyways- There’s tons of content […]

So.. I went out with my brother, his date, his roommate, her date, and a self-proclaimed MILF for dinner at this place called Luna Park. For me, this brought up an instant reminiscence of childhood excitement! Remember… I’m an adrenaline junky. In Israel, “Luna Park” means “Amusement Park”– it’s not the name […]

Moving a Website is just like moving a home…. You have all your stuff… the big important stuff that guests see when they walk in the door - like television, beds, couches, tables, chairs, etc… - and you have your miscellaneous stuff that’s important and people don’t get to see (speeding tickets, bills, condoms, weapons), […]

Today I sat on my ass most of the day, and tried to get stuff done. The weather was muggy, and my mood matched. I felt like arguing… I’m certain it was due to the lack of sleep- as mentioned in an earlier post. It didn’t help that GoDaddy (my ISP) was […]

For those who want to know, setting up a site is quite easy! If you just want a blog, you can go to BlogSpot, Wordpress, or MySpace (each account comes free with a blog). These are all free! However, a blog is a blog, and while you may be able to choose […]

Greetings from San Francisco y’all!
I’m here at Couch 16’s. Went out for a superb Burmese dinner last night. I’ve never had Burmese food before, and I like it. Not to sound generic, but it tasted like a cross between Thai & Chinese food. The weather here is cool… literally! […]
