PHILOSOPHY

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. ~Herm Albright, quoted in Reader's Digest, June 1995

I had the blues because I had no shoes until upon the street, I met a man who had no feet. ~Ancient Persian Saying

I don't like that man. I must get to know him better. ~Abraham Lincoln

Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time. ~Betty Smith

Where the loser saw barriers, the winner saw hurdles. ~Robert Brault

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Save monies 😬 but most importantly, meeting like minded folks and experiencing local life in diff countries. Its rewarding to show others around as well
