Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and surfing all over the planet!
This is an active step towards Peace!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Traveled lots with hospitalityclub in beginnings of this movement (Austria, Ukraine, Russia, China, India...)
Then switched to the CS-Website, surfed in Germany Iceland, Canada...
Hosted in San Francisco in February 2009 and at home in Switzerland a few times.

In March 2009 had 2 fantastic weeks in Ireland, couchsurfing with 4 different people!
Now I would love to host respectful travelers in our beautiful roof-top-appartment "out in the green", but just 25 minutes from Zurich! I just moved there with my partner, Jonathan, who is a Couchsurfer too, of course!
(see http://www.couchsurfing.com/people/jcross.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Done: Traveled overland all the way from Switzerland to Thailand. Then on into India, to meet the partner of my life, and into Sri Lanka

Seen:
- The amazing variety of fern-leaves!
- A young man on the edge of a street in a jungle-village in Laos, combing his hair holding a little mirror after he showered in the stream.
- A little caterpillar crossing the path in front of me.
- A full rainbow in the lush green hills of southern Germany
- Hot water flowing out of the earth on a lonely plain in Iceland
- Other beings looking through my eyes right into my soul

Teach, Learn, Share

I came to call Chameli Ardagh my spiritual teacher. Learn here why: www.Awakeningwomen.org
