go surf a couch

i must say, my life has changed in a good way this past year with couchsurfing.org.

i mean, i now have a humble abode that i can call my own for a little while, so i figured i might as well share the wealth & host some rad travelers. meet some kindred & crazy spirits from all over... get some insights and learns some new tricks. plus, i'm building up some good travel karma for when i hit the road myself. this is the best idea evah.
















so these are some of the couchsurfing folks i've hosted in korea, a few of which i'll prolly stay in touch w/ forever. good vibes all around.






...and for those of you who might be wondering...what is couchsurfing? well, here's a plug:


couchsurfing is a global non-profit network that connects travelers with locals in over 230 countries & territories. members use this system to give/get a free place to stay and, more importantly, to come together for cultural exchange, friendship, and learning experiences. the mission statement is to "create inspiring experiences".


an important thing to note: couchsurfing is NOT about the furniture -- not just about finding free accommodations around the world; it's about making connections worldwide. we can make the world a better place by opening our homes, our hearts, and our lives. thru this, we can open our minds and welcome the knowledge that cultural exchange makes available. we can create deep and meaningful connections that cross oceans, continents and cultures. so sign up!

changing the world, one couch at a time. dig it :)
