Michael Culbreth

no, i didn’t take this photo, but i am going to use it anyways...bwah hah hah!!

this is a photo of michael culbreth.  i actually don’t speak to him anymore.  i’ve only met him once.

but his guest appearance in my life has changed it dramatically for the better.

it was 2006, i was living in san diego (for a total of 6 months).  previously living in hawaii, i use to host people from all over the world in my apartment, mostly students looking for a place to crash while they explore the island (hawaii isn’t a cheap place).  i’ve been fortunate to host people all around the world and vice versa, i’ve been hosted in about 10 countries and made friends all over.

back to michael.  i was living with 2 people at the time both of which agreed that i could host people in the apartment.  needless to say, after michael arrived, one of the roommates didn’t feel comfortable having a stranger in the house.  why? i’m not so sure, you can lock your room, but i guess kitchen gadgets are pretty important... just teasing... lol hosting people isn’t for everyone, nor is traveling and staying with people you know nothing about.  i guess its about trusting the human spirit...

well, i couldn’t leave michael without a place to stay, he had a car and was driving all around the country...

i went into HC, the site where michael originally contacted me and tried to find him a host.  luckily, lovella (HC username - lovella) lol, responded quickly and was able to host Michael.

though michael is no longer in my life, nor is here in HC or CS... he has made a lasting impact on my life.

lovella is a friend, I couldn’t imagine living without.  Understanding, caring, funny with an infectious laugh (almost as infectious as mine :P)... 

she is my traveling partner, we’ve been fortunate to travel all over california together, and we took our first venture central america together.

who has made a guest appearance in your life, but has made a lasting impact?

thank you michael.  

love you lovella.

Mahalo for reading. 

Until next time.
