Open my arms to the spaciousness of life. Wiggle around with it!

ABOUT ME

Go in Laughter, in Lightness, in Flower-Petals and in Love!

PHILOSOPHY

"In a place out of doors, near forests and meadows, stands a jar of vinegar - the emblem of life ... Now two people approach the jar, together, naked, hand in hand. The man has a beard and woolly legs like a goat. His long tongue is slightly swollen from some poetry he's been reciting. The woman wears a cowgirl hat, a necklace of feathers, a rosy complexion. Her tummy and tits bear the stretch marks of motherhood; she carries a basket of mushrooms and herbs. First the man and then the woman sticks a thumb into the vinegar. She licks his thumb and he hers. Initially they make a face, but almost immediately they break into wide grins. 'It's sweet,' they chime. 'Swee-eet!'"

-from Even Cowgirls Get The Blues by Tom Robbins

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The absolute best way to travel.
When I've surfed, I've felt the warmth and love of the people whose land I walk in - and isn't this why we set foot outside our homes in the first place?
