PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to love my life.

Praise the lives you did not choose. They will heal you, tell your story, fight for you. -Marge Piercey

To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart
If someone betrays you once, it is his fault; if he betrays you twice, it is your fault. -Eleanor Roosevelt

I find that making very loose plans, the kind that allow for digressions, or just wandering with no plans at all, hoping to come across people, events, or just snippets of daily life, is my kind of travel. -Rita Golden Gelman

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
