PHILOSOPHY
Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over,
it became a butterfly.We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I love meeting new people and will provide them a true insight into the lifestyle of Himalayan folkways. I believe in the native American saying
" Tell me, and I’ll forget.
Show me, and I may not remember.
Involve me, and I’ll understand"
