If you come with someone, you may have to sleep with them on the floor. My bus is only one room, so there's not a lot of privacy.

I actually live in a school bus, but there's floor space available sometimes! Contact me to find out if I can host!

Personal Description

Check out this CouchSurfing article about my mobile couch and tea house.

A hobo, a clown, a woodsman, a hippie,
A traveler, an artist, a joker, a gypsy,
I love to live life at heightened awareness,
I dare to live life with positive goodness,
A laugh is a must, a tear when it's time,
Happy to busk, or sing you a rhyme.

Interests

What do these numbers mean?

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.

In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.

When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.

What to say about Mr. Guisepi Spadafora?? It cannot be contained in this box on a webpage by any means. All you need to know is that "Gui-Steep-Tea" has an amazing heart that is open, serving, and inspiring. It is safe to say your life will be enriched by simply hanging out sipping tea. Thanks Guisepi for everything! See you soon again on the road~ or sea...

Guisepi not only welcomed me aboard the tea bus (Edna) to travel to Oregon for the herbalism and sustainability festival Root Stalk, he also drew me into the most unexpected, loving, creative, cheerful, beautiful and nourishing family a traveller could possibly hope for. It seems that Guisepi attracts amazing people who also attract amazing people... or maybe, just help to bring out the amazing in all people. When in the presence of the tea bus, it's easy to believe in and experience the magical maze of life, in so many precious moments, new friends and sips of tea.
Loving, giving, accepting, allowing, questioning, teaching, learning, experiencing, embracing, sharing and laughing.... are some of the colours of Guisepi. Halleluja, Have a cup of tea!

Although we have only met in passing a few times it is obvious that Guisepi is an individual of the highest quality, and your life will only get better (and your belly will only get more tea) when he is around.

Guisepi is an all around beautiful person. I am so lucky to have met him on my journey and think what he does is amazing. We had good conversation, a delicious meal he made and great experience serving tea with him. People like him are what make me realize I am truly lucky to be taking this journey. :)

Thank you for everything, can't wait to see you again. <3

Guisepi rocks my socks! (: Him and Edna have provided a meeting place/mobile tea house for many communities throughout the United States. His presence is nothing but a blessing.
