PHILOSOPHY

Each of us by nature sees the whole world from one point of view with a perspective and a selectiveness peculiar to himself... we want to see with other eyes, to imagine with other imaginations, to feel with other hearts, as well as with our own... we demand windows. - C.S Lewis

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to the couchsurfing community, but have been already doing what it stands for for quite a while. I have friends around the world that I've met through the international community of my university and through my travels, and I love the knowledge and adventures all these people have shared with me.
