Travel Inspired Urge to Write

I was talkin' to Ethan earlier today while he was charging Adam's phone in a Denny's. They were waiting for triple A to come because the RV they were in broke down (I'm pretty sure he showed up before we got off the phone).

Anyways, he was telling me how he was about to go back to the RV and just write because that's what he really felt like doing. I'm applauding this because not only should we soon have some new material posted up but also because his inner human expression is being led out in such an avenue that enables him to record it, all the while figuring out what all that is inside dieing to come out. When you are just writing, and it comes out as poetry, passionate and decisive and convincing it is a truely self identifying experience- and I think this has a great deal to do with the trip these two have just been on.
And, ofcourse, you are all a big part of that. (pat on the back)

Anyways, in all of the excitement, Ethan revealed to me one of his tricks of the trade, telling me to check out www.couchsurfing.org which is this ridiculously cool website they met a fellow traveler on.

In minutes I was reading profiles of people all over the globe, from Amherst to China to Australia who just offer up their couch and host travelers, mostly for hopes of learning (whether culturally, spiritually) and sharing good experiences with others.

Its awesome
