PHILOSOPHY

Check out www.centerforfutureconsciousness.com also From the HOW TO BUILD GLOBAL COMMUNITY poster- Think of no one as them. Don't confuse comfort with safety.
Imagine other cultures through their poetry and novels.
Listen to others Music - Dance to it. Act Locally. Notice how power and priviledge work in your own culture. Question consumption. Know where your food is grown - is there exploitation? Acquire few needs.
Learn other languages. Visit people, places & cultures
- not tourist attractions(can email the rest if wanted)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The area is beautiful, like the Rhine river without the castles. www.wigrr.com
