I have a suicidal sense of humor.

I am making an effort to communicate clearly and compassionately to the people around it, I really appreciate it when it works. I trust iIam getting better at it but appreciate practice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is a great way to explore the places you travel from the inside. In a way it helps me be less of a tourist and more of a traveller. It also allows me to share my experiences and return the kindness I've been shown in my travels.
