Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love people, I love learning about their worlds. We are closer than we think and this is a way to share common experience and build relationships globally. I like to make a difference to others where ever I may be. There are no others.

I have offered my place but it is a little remote. So the only surfers we seemed to have received are friends wanting a break from city life. Off the beaten track as it were.

COUCH SURFING EXPERIENCE
I have had one experience in New York, and it was wonderful. We shared ideas, stories and became friends to this day.
Also stayed with some hosts in Mumbai a couple of times. Met some wonderful people. Learned about the corporate Advertising World of fast moving Mumbai. I would say the world of deals and schemes is too fast for me.
Hey Jake from New York. I will always remember the time both you and Linda shared with me. And getting to meet Pete Seegar and Bruce Cockurn.

I am in Vancouver these days
