Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

'And that my land went no further, in one direction at least, did not displease me. And to feel there was one direction at least in which I could go no further, without first getting wet, then drowned, was a blessing. For I have always said, first learn to walk, then you can take swimming lessons. But don't imagine my region ended at the coast, that would be a grave mistake. For it was this sea too, its reefs and distant islands, and its hidden depths. And I too once went forth on it, in a sort of oarless skiff, but I paddled with an old bit of driftwood. And i sometimes wonder if I ever came back from that voyage. For if I see myself putting to sea, and the long hours without landfall, I do not see the return...'
