CURRENT MISSION

A stewart of peace through tourism, my own or others

ABOUT ME

I'm a shoestring traveler myself, I have spent a majority of my volunteering time for peace through tourism through hosteling international teaching other to travel as hostelers servas and also couch surfers. but have yet to do any couch surfing to date. I am eager to start on the next chapter of cultural exchange!

PHILOSOPHY

Heaven would be,
Where the police are brittish
The Cooks are Spanish
The Mechanics German
The Lovers Italian
And its all organized by the Swiss

Hell would be,
The Cooks are British
The Mechanics Spanish
The Lovers Swiss
The Police German
and its all organized by the Italians

Grateful for the opportunity to travel and experience the world and because peace begins with the individual, I affirm my personal responsibility and commitment to:

Journey with an open mind and gentle heart

Accept with grace and gratitude the diversity I encounter

Revere and protect the natural environment which sustains all life

Appreciate all cultures I discover

Respect and thank my hosts for their welcome

Offer my hand in friendship to everyone I meet

Support travel services that share these views and act upon them and,

By my spirit, words and actions, encourage others to travel the world in peace
