PHILOSOPHY

But I'll tell you what hermits realize. If you go off into a far, far forest and get very quiet, you'll come to understand that you're connected with everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In my community, we are one big family, including all of our friends of friends. Besides reaching out to others that are close by; i like to be able to host people in town to get that slice of life/day to day seattle-ite tour. Something better than spending money at retail downtown, or staring at the space needle, or waiting for someone to throw a fish at the pike place market...
The west coast continues to welcome me as i travel around, and i would like to spread that idea of community outside of our area.
