PHILOSOPHY

Support the good. Help others. Enjoy life including good food, good people, good learning, connection with nature and friendly 4 footers. Avoid the intolerant, all encompassing philosophies - religious and otherwise: I'm from California and have seen them all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Please note: An extensive letter concerning Mr. Thomson's erratic behavior, emotional instability and slander has been sent to the CouchSurfing organization. From keeping me up into the middle of the night with music to suggesting that I go to the library at 1:45 AM, to changing committments repeatedly, acusing me of being a vagabond, an illegal worker, etc. I highly recommend that couch surfers and couch surf hosts avoid this man. Mr. Thomson will "go postal" one day. It's ridiculous how vindictive he is. I hope he gets a life and finds some peace. It's a bit like Le Miserable dealing with him.

Regarding Mr. Thomson's most spurious claim, I'll take science over an unethical attorney any day. See references below and make your own decisions:
