"Marco Polo Didn't Go There"

I travel like Rolf Potts !
You are a travel legend in the making, with a sense of adventure that will lead to hundreds of fascinating stories. Locals all over the world will give you special nicknames, and almost all of them will be complimentary.
What type of traveler are you?

PHILOSOPHY

€œThe use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.

Samuel Johnson

Let me tell you the one thing I have against Moses. He took us forty years into the desert in order to bring us to the one place in the Middle East that has no oil!

Golda Meir

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted Couch Surfers, and surfed on ouches dozens of times.

The first time in my life, i was a guest in Budapest during May 2010.

I think that CS is a best way to discover peoples, country's, cultures.

Teach, Learn, Share

“In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.”
William Blake

“I would rather learn from one bird how to sing than to teach 10,000 stars how not to dance.”
E. E. Cummings

Learning is more than absorbing facts, it is acquiring understanding.”
