Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Would like to meet people to stay by when I travel... to see your city/country/area through your eyes and refresh your perspective on it through mine.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had several incredible people stay with me and have also had some gracious hosts all of whom I can now, proudly call friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

"All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you; the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse, and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was."

Some examples of my faves:

1. The Count of Monte Cristo (Unabridged) by Dumas,

2. Tale of Two Cities by Dickens,

3. Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Standing at the foot of an active volcano in Hawaii watching lava flow...

Seeing a green sand beach...

Exploring the remnants of history...

Climbing 740 steps up and then back down at la piedra del peñol in Colombia

Teach, Learn, Share

"How do you bounce back when reality batters your belief system and love does not as promised conquer all? Is hope a drug we need to go off of or is it keeping us alive? Whats the harm in believing?”

"THE GREATEST DISEASE IS NOT TB OR LEPROSY;
IT IS BEING UNWANTED, UNLOVED AND UNCARED FOR.

WE CAN CURE PHYSICAL DISEASES WITH MEDICINE BUT THE ONLY CURE FOR LONELINESS, DESPAIR AND HOPELESSNESS IS LOVE.

THERE ARE MANY IN THE WORLD WHO ARE DYING FOR A A PIECE OF BREAD BUT THERE ARE MANY MORE DYING FOR A LITTLE LOVE."

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook you a nice Russian meal.
Or teach you some basic Russian conversation
Or write you a poem
