About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Looking for a reason to acquire a job again.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't have a personal philosophy, but these are my favorite two quotes:

"The Man of calling does not live life, but lets life live itself through him."
-Loa Tzu
"The Earth does not belong to us. We belong to the Earth."
-Unknown

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I refuse to conform to society, or humanity in general. I believe that there is a better way to live. Working to pay rent, own a car, have health insurance... all of those things are not nearly as important as having interactions with people, animals and the environment. I believe that the most valuable things I have learned have been through the experiences I've had with the later mentioned.

Safe of my closest friends, I find myself surrounded by people I can not relate to.

I want to share my experience and perspective. That is all I have that is unique. Most importantly I want to learn. Learn from those who have had experiences different from mine, and therefore offer a different perspective. At this point, I am being redundant and have the sense that I am rambling.

If you are interested in more rambling, Lets talk.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Best couch surfing experience was by accident.
At Burning Man 08, I woke up in someone's couch. I was a bit confused and plenty disoriented, but my hosts welcomed me with a tall glass of water and a big smile.
Thank you Fallout Shelter, for bringing couches to the desert, where strangers can have a peaceful slumber and a nice morning.
