He was our guest for a conference and stayed for a couple days. He ia an interesting person indeed. Preferred to stay at someone's house instead of a hotel. If that person has a parrot that would be a plus. And some other crazy stuff. He has a 3 page document that explains what he likea and what not (i am not saying it is weird or he is asking for too much, for a frequent traveller such as him i think it is perfectly ok)

Funny story. He "stole"/borroe my phone. He didnt have a phone so we lended him one. My phone was a dumb phone and we guessed that would be better. After the conference, he took my phone to another conference that was in our country. I got it back though

>If you can find a host for me that has a friendly parrot, I will be very very glad. If you can find someone who has a friendly parrot I can visit with, that will be nice too.

I enjoyed that rabbit hole, also.

> I am willing to stay in a hotel if there is no other way. ... My distaste for a hotel is less if it does not know my name, but staying in a house with people is normally more enjoyable than staying alone.
