Many people on CS are not dirty hippies, and its full of intellectuals and eccentrics. There are a lot of college students from around the world using it. In my opinion, not a cool comment K626.

Yeah that's what we've been doing, however, I've found it really hard to busk on the west coast. Too many pricks in towns making laws now, and Cali really doesn't like fire dancing due to their insane dryness. The couchsurfing community is a beautiful thing. At Burning Man, there was a CS camp, and one night they had a CSer meetup party and Claudia and I met CSer's from all over the world. Claudia had some crazy synchronicity while standing in line for food at the meetup as the person behind her had the same math teacher from high school in Kennebunkport, Maine (where the Bushs have their estate).

I really cannot fully express how beautiful the couchsurfing movement really is. You just have to experience it for yourself.
