ABOUT ME

Life these last few years has been a true ride with me learnign some Spanish, travelling a lot and truly enjoying life.

PHILOSOPHY

hmmm, as Bill Hicks said;

"It's just a ride"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have just been to some Meets, this has led to some genuine and lasting friendships.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I has been GREAT, i think its one of those self-editing things where this kind of thing appeals mainly to a certain type of person who LOVES life and treats it with respect and passion, I find the whole thing very life affirming.
