ABOUT ME

signed up for CS before going to japan and a friend recently reminded me of it when I came to DF, Mexico.

"Begin it now."
If you like it, I love it.
We are not all connected, we are ONE-- different parts of the same thing.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Now I HOST! and I also surf-- usually to attend dance events around the Midwest and the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Once I slept outside on a park bench in Paris, between motorcycles and homeless people, it was the worst night's sleep of my life. I wish I had known about this site then.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Biked from Philadelphia to Texas and the hospitality I experienced was borderline unreal. Before I left, I heard all kinds of reasons why I SHOULDN'T go but no one could have told me how generous people in the US are/were.

Another instance that left me awestruck was visiting Morocco/Brazil and seeing the people happy happy happy to be alive (way more so than in europe and the US) despite having significantly less material wealth. In all of my travels, I've never been happier than amongst Morrocans, Brazilians, and Mexicans...

Insegna, impara, condividi
