A lot of people attack the sea ... I make love to it

I am a citizen of the most beautiful nation on earth, a nation whose laws are harsh yet simple, a nation that never cheats, which is immense and without borders, where life is lived in the present. In this limitless nation, this nation of wind, light, and peace, there is no other ruler besides the sea.

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble makers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules.. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing that you can't do, is ignore them because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy. Because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.

"We must do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to learn a living. It is a fact today that one in 10000 of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian - Darwinian theory, he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors & people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along & told them they had to earn a living." Richard Fuller

Someday everything will all make perfect sense. So for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears, and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason.

Life itself, not human life, is the ultimate miracle upon this earth, and that all of life reaches out to all of life

"I give a fuck. I give lots of fucks, actually. I am a prostitute of feelings."

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
- Mark Twain

“Do not burn yourself out. Be as I am – a reluctant enthusiast – a part time crusader, a half hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourself and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it is still there. So get out there and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, encounter the grizz, climb the mountains. Run the rivers, breathe deep of that sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, that lovely mysterious and awesome space. Enjoy yourself, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to your body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much: enemies, over those deskbound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this: you will outlive the bastards.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's cool to meet cool people and I'm always travelling.
I found a lot of sailing opportunities through CS. I met really cool people.
and I'm hopeful to keep on using CS as an awesome platform to meet more and experience more
