Has Couchsurfing Gotten Sleazy? [Tips for Getting Started & Couchsurfing Safely]

It’s 2020… Is Couchsurfing Still a Thing?

If you get my posts via social media, that's great! But those websites change their algorithms all the time, and that can leave people not seeing my posts. Signing up for emails is the surest way to see when I write something new!

(Don't worry, I never send more than one email a week. Often less.)

Probably the best coffee on #Paros, imo. (Save this is you ever, ever might be there!) The @ramantanis_bros shop is kind of hard to find – it’s between a gas station & a dentist’s office on the quiet side of the island, and looks like absolutely nothing from the road. But it’s absolutely worth finding. Best espresso I had in Greece and, as a #CleanBlueParos member, they serve sugar in cubes, instead of packets, and stir sticks made of wood instead of plastic. Any low-waste coffee shop recommendations to share? ☕️ Anywhere in the world is welcome, I’ll flag them for later!

This phrase really resonates with me, because I was raised in a small business, and I run one now. (That’s my dad, working on one of his bus conversions.) So when I think about small businesses, of course I think about people’s livelihoods, but to me that’s the least interesting part. What I love is thinking about their creativity, the risks they’re willing to take, and the mark they want to leave on the world — and I love supporting all that. ❤️ If you missed it before, my own sustainable gift guide is linked in my bio! ✨ It’s full of my favorite small businesses I’ve found this year (and most of them still have sales happening this weekend). Several are small enough that I’ve gotten to know the founders this year while learning about their businesses, and I can say for sure that ordering from Amazon doesn’t make anyone’s day, but ordering from these definitely does. (And shopping thru the links helps support my own small business, which definitely makes my day. To those who have already reached about this, thank you again for your support! It really means the world to me, and it keeps me writing.) 📷 Image is from one of my favorite designers & purveyors of positivity @oliviaherrickdesign #smallbusinesssaturday #sustainablebusiness

Clearing the writing cobwebs out of my brain + sorting through thousands of #Greece photos. I love the balance in these first two: The landscaped courtyard of a 5-star hotel, and the view from the side of the road. Sometimes one is about as good as the other… except that one came with coffee. ☕️

This is what happens when @theaviaoexperience says “you should take my GoPro on your trip!” And then I forget to pretend I know what I’m doing. Thank you, Lele, for turning my clips & ramblings into this story! It’s exactly how I remember it. Next stop: TILTED MAP YOUTUBE! What do you think?

Feeling the holiday overwhelm yet, or is that just me? For me, there’ll never be anything more soothing than a good #windowseat. And I published my first-ever gift guide this week! Lots of ideas from some of my favorite plastic-free & #climateneutral small businesses. (Solar panels, climate-friendly dog food, recycled cashmere… lots of fun things. 🎁 But only IF you actually WANT to give gifts. Otherwise, skipping it is fine too, in my book.) These window seats were from the ferry & plane home from #Greece. ⛴ The ferry was impressively quick & easy! I think it makes domestic flights to the Greek islands pretty easy to avoid. More coming up soon in the blog posts I’m writing about #CleanBlueParos! But first, break time. Cup of tea. Weekend. Gift guide linked in my bio 😘
