CURRENT MISSION

chew the apple-core of life

ABOUT ME

I am Alice. Roaming around trying to find that wonderland. Art, connection, music and travelling are my main incentives to what I want from life. At the moment I'm living in the paradise of Zipolite, learning by living in this bizarre little dusty beach town, every hurricane and sunset different.

PHILOSOPHY

My mama always says; You regret more the things you didn't do than all the things you did. Life is here to be grasped as an opportunity to see and experience what we can in this short time. Take advantage of our the ability to roam on our two legs, tap those 10 toes, see sights of beauty, of pain, then beauty again. Imagine if there was no opposites? And love every minute.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This is an online community of Freethinkers - we are pioneering towards the statement that money isn't everything. To actually do something good for another person like offering them a couch to sleep on or showing them round - for no money in return, just the freshness of trust without a price. This is what needs to be expanded on. To do something without asking to name a value on it. It is human, its own reward is the opportunity, learning and the glow of like minded recognicion.

Interests

people who seem different from the laminated crowd, old LP's that crackle when played, Dali and his wonderful mustache, knitting, tastes of vegetarian food, philosophy and having big elongated creative conversations with dice, making lentil feasts of mush and trying to hide my half dreaded hair from the children I teach.

Have just got over a Haruki Murakami addiction, so have been feverishly making my way through ´The Diceman´by Luke Rhinehart - that is one brilliant philosophy. Love:Zen and the art of motorcycle maintainence, Krishnamurti (genious), How to be Free.
