PHILOSOPHY
"If it scares you, it might be a good thing to try." Seth Godin
Experience everything once. Never try, never know.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Locals know best. I want to experience the world through the eyes of the local people that inhabit this planet. Traveling is not about the places, its about the people ....and the food.
Couchsurfing has been tremendously rewarding as we have travelled from Canada to Peru ( we will continue to couch surf as we make our way south in our van). We have indulged in the best Taco's in Guadalajara, eaten home-made ceviche on the beaches of Ensanada during Semana Santa, met beautiful souls throughout the world, been invited into beautiful homes to meet even more beautiful people.
