Hi Jerry,
I admire your work for Veterans and wish you great success in your adventure and speaking tour. I am enclosing my profile info so your High schoolers can get an idea of the diversity among the people of couch surfing. Not just geographical but in all facets of life.
If I could say one thing to them it would be that traveling is the best and cheapest form of higher education of all. When I was 18 I traveled around Europe for a year and a half by thumb. I felt like I had seen the world! When I returned home and traced my little trip on the globe I saw what a small part of the world Europe is! It has been my pleasure to discover more and more of the world throughout my life and there is still so much to see, so many people to meet, so many couches to surf. Yes, sadly, one can not travel by “thumb” so much anymore, Couch Surfing makes up for what you pay for transportation with a friendly place to stay all over the world! Take advantage of it and go GO!
