PHILOSOPHY

How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people -- first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy. -Albert Einstein

You're the richest girl in the world! Look how many people love you. -My great-grandmother

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not through this website yet, but last summer a friend and I drove across the country and back, and stayed with whatever friends/friends of friends we could find, and it was the best time of my life. We visited New Orleans, the Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, Vegas, Austin, Truth or Consequences, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Denver, and everywhere in between. It was amazing to see all these new things and meet amazing people - even just stopping at a gas station or eating at a Denny's! I miss it every day.
