Note:
Please DO NOT send me a couch request if your only purpose to be on CS is a free stay!

CURRENT MISSION

Eat up the world, traveling. I want to die full-stomach. Each burp; a country's tale ~

ABOUT ME

Hippie Heart. Hell Curious. Earthian.

Let's plant trees more than they plant bombs.
Let's fill the world with so much positive, that it becomes contagious.
Let's make goodness cool, rather than greatness.
Lets make childbirth worth - it's pain.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I wonder about the whole experience of living in a home with strange beautiful people with languages & culture distinct from mine. All senses are enlightened. The way they move, smile, dance, love.. everything is so new, at the same time so so familiar.
And then I imagine all this being experienced by them as well. The circular motion of these intimate spaces retains me at being human.
