Conventional wisdom is the ruin of our souls;
Something borrowed which we mistake for our own.
Ignorance is better than this; clutch at madness instead.
Always run from what seems to benefit yourself.

Sip the poison and spill the water of life.
Revile those who flatter you. Give your money to the poor.
Let security go and be at home among danger.
Leave your good name behind and accept disgrace.

I have lived too long with cautious thinking.
Now, I will make myself mad.

--Rumi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people and seeing how people live in while I'm traveling. I hate the impersonal experience of hotels and would much prefer meeting normal folks. ^__^
