Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i've done quite a bit of traveling, most of it years ago, and was hosted around the world through the kindness of Perfect Strangers, who turned out to be a lot more Perfect and a good deal less Strange than many might think who have not experienced this, from my perspective at least...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

have hosted in my old apt and in my new, VERY small one, in Miami Beach...

Centres d'intérêt

....wide range of interests...words, culture, history, and the thinking process...and, of course the New World Disorder...

• animals
• culture
• cooking
• traveling
• teaching
• history
• languages
• beaches

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

really too too many to list, and trends vary with the seasons...i have a pretty cool collection of too-seldom-seen flicks, excellent but for poor marketing or whatever reason, not well-known, and of course You're more than welcome to check em out...

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

...well i've seen a few really amazing things by now, because i've been around for a while and travelled widely and learned to listen to some extent...but i'd have to say that i met someone very ancient whose life was fully dedicated to 'others,' healing them, cooking for them, and inspiring the Wisdom we all have latently in us, never going anywhere except where he was invited, and never taking one cent for anything....now THAt was impressive...

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

...i've been fortunate in having had several outstanding instructors on various areas, and one truly, truly extraordinary and unique Teacher who taught me in a final and unforgettable way the Truth of One Family, One Love, One Human Being, One Life...his life was TOTally dedicated to the welfare of any and all who came to him, people from all faith traditions and all walks of life...even animals...i'm hoping i can honor his legacy in me, in however small and partial a way...
