Favorite Quotations:
"We don't see the world as it is, we see the world as we are"
-Anias Nin

"If you realize that all things change,
there is nothing you will hold on to
If you aren't afraid of dying,
there is nothing you can't achieve

trying to control the future is like taking the
master carpenter's place,
if you handle the master carpenter's tools
chances are, you will cut your hands"
-lao tzu

There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.
- Oscar Levant

"be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray

PHILOSOPHY

When you follow your dreams, the whole world conspires to help you achieve them.

If you don't ask, they can't say yes

We don't see the world as it is, we see the world as we are

Tao te ching ('shit happens, live with it and use this knowledge to your advantage)

Being happy is our responsibility, helping other people is a big part of being happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf a little for fun.. i host when i can.... . I live in a house that is a little too big for me, and since I only have my son every other week, I am happy to let people stay here on my sofa or in one of my guest rooms.

Sometimes I have lots of time for people, other times I can just offer a home base.

Either way, you'll get at least one California style breakfast if you stay.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

surfed in poland with great experience, met surfers in 3 or 4 countries.. good community... fun.
