“I think that hate is a feeling that can only exist where there is no understanding.” ― Tennessee Williams, Sweet Bird of Youth I think the world could use a lot less hate, and as much love and understanding as we can muster. Traveling - experiencing other cultures, ways of being, languages, foods and friendships - is the fastest way I have found of increasing my acceptance and understanding and becoming my best self. I am on couch surfing because I love the idea of people from all over the world sharing food, drinks, ideas, laughter, and stories, and in turn, making the world a little wiser and kinder.
