Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING My wandering blues swayed me to spend countless nights on kind people's couches, enjoying their food, company, music, smiles. I look forward to hosting again and passing their graciousness right along down the path. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Sometimes too little, sometimes too much. I am forever indepted to the kindess of so many and feel so fortunate that CS came into my once boring office life in 2004 :) I'll forever be enamoured with this concept and the people it affords me to meet.

Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem/am
Living for six months with a family in a rural South African village. I had no electricty, but wonderful neighbors who taught me Zulu songs. A tragic, crazy, wonderful, inspirational place. Slow strolls on a dusty winter day, tea in a home with empty cabinets, raucous church services in the tin-roofed school, smiles from grannies planting another year's crop...amazing.
