PHILOSOPHY
things happen the way they happen the way they happen the way they happen. and if you let them happen they will usually happen well. ride the wave ;)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I look at people's profiles for inspiration. I hope to one day have a glorious old factory that works as an all-nite laundromat/library/theater/cafe/garden/dance party/lecture hall/museum of oddities. the top floor will be filled with couches of all shapes and sizes, gold couches, velvet couches, couches quilted out of dish rags. it will be a lavish couchsurfing haven. and you are all welcome!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am an infrequent but enthusiastic user of couchsurfing. Previously my strategy has been to show up in town with a basket of books and dresses and wander the streets searching for new friends. i have been successful in my endeavors the old-fashioned way but i am curious to see how technology can assist my travels.
