ABOUT ME

I am playing around and traveling and realizing alot about myself. Funny how you can be with yourself so much and not really know that much about you.

PHILOSOPHY

“Those who have a 'why' to live, can bear with almost any 'how'.”
― Viktor E. Frankl via Nietzsche, Man's Search for Meaning
...and have I got a why now

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Ride people's couches on the living room waves...or on the floor.
I can cook fun stuff and hang hard on porches

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted a circus couple. Suppose to be for 3 days. turned into a week. We had to kick them out. Learned good deal between being generous and being not a push over
