ABOUT ME

"We are living in the best of all possible worlds"

"Work all day for money, fight all night for love."

"If anybody asks you, tell them I went- well, tell them I went to America."

"For we really are: we are absurd, frivolous, we have bad habits, we're bored, we don't know how to look around ourselves, we don't know how to understand; we are all like this, all of us, you, and I, and everyone."

"You just can't. Man is weak, woman is strong, chance is all powerful, to reconcile oneself to a colorless existence is difficult, completely to forget oneself is impossible...and then come beauty and sympathy, and warmth and light - how can you resist? And you run like a child to its nurse. Well, and afterward, of course come cold and gloom, and emptiness - as usual. And it ends with your getting unaccustomed to everything, you cease to understand anything. In the beginning you will not understand how anyone can love, but afterward you will not understand how it is possible to live."

"Logic is doubtless unshakable, but it cannot withstand a man who wants to go on living."

"We changed again, and yet again, and it was now too late and too far to go back, and I went on."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It's been a long time since I've been actively using this site, but I've opened my home to travelers my whole life. I hosted when I was living in Portland a while back and I had nothing but great experiences. Now, I'm out and traveling a little and would like to try surfing!
