ABOUT ME

Hmm. When people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always said 'human'. Still trying to get there. Talk to me about it.

PHILOSOPHY

We only fail when we fail to realize how we have changed ... and even then, it's just a matter of time.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Came across the site looking for places to stay in Peru...

Update 2 years later - couchsurfers are wonderful. I didn't end up in couchsurfing in Peru, but had lovely encounters in bars and later kind responses to frantic emails sent in Ecuador. For now, I'm just an observer but I'm happy to give people advice about Trinidad. I'm not on here too much, but I'll reply to you as best I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mostly advice and suggestions for other couchsurfers. Coffee and tea.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Macchu Pichhu - for grandness.
For strangeness - at the top of a hill in Big Sur, a tree with used condoms tied onto its branches, the sunlight filtering through making patterns on the ground below.
