CURRENT MISSION

to live a little

ABOUT ME

I told my work mate that i am a wandering minstrel, not really sure of anything, except the law of gravity. My friend came back with "not all those who wander are lost". Right on mate.

PHILOSOPHY

All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of holding on, and letting go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just like the idea of knowing someone is kind enough to accept a stranger into their home. It's like the good old days, where you didn't wonder if the person knocking on your door on a cold rainy night seeking shelter was packin an oozy or a burlap bag begging to be filled with your worldy belongings. The people who are true couchsurfers encompass the kindest of all virtues, with an open heart, and an open door. I find that the people who I talk to about this who are afraid, who worry about everything, well that's the difference between living and living in a bubble which burst right before you die and you say "damn I wish I hadda done that". Coz we all know "the only things you regret in life are the risks you didn't take". Right? That's right.
