PHILOSOPHY

Do things that make you happy. Do things that make other people happy. Be generous with your time. Be generous with your money. Be generous with your words.

Live for the moments when happiness takes you over, it makes everything else worthwhile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I spent a month and a half traveling (hitchhiking and other public transport) around the United States this summer with my cousin and fellow couchsurfer. We did a little surfing, both official and unofficial, on our journey.
