Everytime I turn my computer on, I travel to yet another place on this earth.. for FREE.. Each home I visit, each person i meet takes the time to acknowledge a few words here and there. It doesn't cost them anything to come and have a coffee with me, nor me with them.. Sharing a few yarns, sorrows and laughs. Some need comfort, others like to debate, others need guidance, but for what ever reason..
The world is full of computeres and everyone at some stage of their day, will start the computer, open a page, a thread or a Hub and all the while they've dropped into someone else's home without intruding.. and have a cuppa at exactly the same time as another..
So.. Pull up a chair an stay a while... have a coffee and a chat and meet as many people as you can just from that comfy chair..
let's face it.. strangers are only friends we have never met..
How many 'friends' have you visted today?
That's very warm and deep and as a practicing imbecile I need time to understand such kind and considerate thoughts!!
Never met a bad Kiwi and I've bumped into a few on my travels. Stayed in Auckland a couple of years ago and travelled around for a few days. Love NZ love the slowness and the relaxed feel and so many great independent cafe's!!
yeah it's pretty kewl over here.
i'm good at making people 'think' seems to be one of my traits, but i'm not complaining about it.. it can be a lot of fun especially when people realise how significant it really is about how many people they meet yet don't take notice of what country or town or walk of like they're from..
i've been 'poota travelin for years hehe
I live in Missouri. I would also like to say that everyone in the world isn't nice... but most people are if you be nice to them.
let us know where you're from..
ust how many different country residents are on this site?
how many nationalities?
how many are now friends?
how many have smiled at the thought of meeting lots strangers through this little bit of free travel???

What has the leader of the free world done?What promises made to the American citizen voters has the current president kept? What has he done that benefited the nation as a whole? How has he united America? Conversely, has he done anything that was the exact opposite of what he...

Psychology of World Travel?Psychologically, why do people feel persuaded to travel to different countries? What is the true motive behind it? What are people looking for that they could not find specifically in their home country? I'll let you be the judge.

In my opinion, the effects of THC within the body and on the mind are not neutral and are detrimental. No one can sway me on this issue, as I have been around it since the 70's and have clearly seen its effects. Today, the cannabis plant has more THC than ever. I am interested in finding out why so...

It is bad enough when the President of the United States, seen as the leader of the free world personally adopts and advocates the "New Age" religion and its agenda to destroy "Christianity".It is bad enough when Obama, internationally, personally endorses "Gay Unions"...

If I lived in the US I’d be inviting those in the path of the giant hurricane to come stay at my home for a few days ... to keep them safe until the danger has passed.I know of two families in South Carolina and Virginia who I’d love to quickly get on a plane to somewhere safe.
