Hanging With Couch Surfing Ori

So I’ve been chilling with Couch Surfing Ori for the last couple days. Good dude.

Couch Surfing Ori & J-Mo

Couch Surfing Ori & J-Mo

If he rolls through your neighborhood, let him rock your sofa.

His gig is pretty sweet. He basically just rolls around the world crashing on peoples couches and living life to the fullest.

He just got back from Burning Man and rocking a raw food challenge for 30 days.

Of course once he arrived here my lady Kameron loaded him up with all kinds of cooked goods from the kitchen.

In his honor I thought I’d dig through the archive and find a video of me enacting in a real life couch surf. I think this footage is about ten years old.

And oh yeah, Ori manned up and came surfing with me yesterday as well. It was pretty funny watching him paddling in the ocean while simultaneously puking up his breakfast.

    Ahhh, did his stomach hurt from eating the cooked foods?

    It did NOT feel awesome when I got off my 30 day raw food challenge!

    Buuut – glad you’re having a blast! The couch surfing lifestyle’s pretty awesome – I’ve met some ridiculously stellar people that way :)

    Wave surfing is way harder than couch-surfing! I gotta get that paddling thing down. I puked hard twice… part ocean water swallowing, part indigestion from gorging myself at Benihana’s (thanks Mofo) & the night before at a holiday dinner. Sooo much food! I really thought there’d be lots of fish trying to eat it up :) Not a one! But at least I stood up once- success!
    I gotta tell y’all – I got 3 years of full-time adventures… and Jmo has even more stories! What a badass.

    Met Ori in Austin, hard to miss in the hat. Great guy.

    If you like sofa surfing you should try refrigerator bobsledding.

    sweet fella’s, good job on standing up Ori!

    any news on the tour bus J-MO?

    Funny you ask Alex. Shopping for one right now. I’m thinking that purchasing in Oregon is a better move because I won’t have to pay the sales tax.

    Although i am in travel business, it took a while until the news reached me. Quite unconventional way of traveling, skeptics might say.

    Having browsed through several member profiles and reading through testimonials of people who have chosen to travel this way, I am convinced “unconventional” is not bad at all.
