The Bicycle Touring Pro’s 4×9 List

July 16, 2010 by Darren Alff

I saw this on Alastair Humphrey’s website. He saw it on Ben Saunders’. Now I’ll add to the experience by creating a list of my own.

Four jobs I’ve had in my life

  • Editing room assistant (helping people learn to use high-tech video editing equipment)
  • Bike shop mechanic (I lasted less than 4-hours before I quit. My boss wanted me to change my college class schedule in the middle of the semester so I could work more hours at his shop.)
  • Mattress Salesman
  • Paperboy

Four movies I can watch over and over

Four places I have lived

  • Camarillo, California (Where I was born and raised)
  • Orange, California (Where I went to college)
  • Park City, Utah (Where I currently live)
  • In my car (During college – for nearly a year)

Four TV programs I love to watch

  • Seinfeld
  • That 70′s Show
  • Ancient Aliens (It’s a recent TV series. Does that count?)
  • The Wonder Years

Four places I have been on holiday

  • Mexico (with family)
  • Hawaii (with family)
  • Aruba (by myself)
  • Europe (by myself)

Four websites I visit daily

  • Google
  • Facebook
  • Digg
  • PayPal

Four of my favorite foods

  • Bean, Cheese & Rice Burritos
  • Olive Pizza
  • Any kind of ice cream
  • Orange Juice

Four places I would rather be right now

  • Outside
  • Exploring someplace new
  • Norway, Peru, China…
  • Having a meaningful, thought-provoking conversation

    I like it! Here’s my contribution on my fledgling website. Love that you lived in your car for a year Darren, I bet there is a story behind that! ?
