CURRENT MISSION

to grow younger in spirit and to be less certain about most things.

ABOUT ME

I live just outside of Philly with my wife Jenny, and we have 2 great adult kids. My wife and I are artists, so we live among interesting stuff, but a couch can always be cleared, our walls are crammed, and we enjoy our little humble place in the world. We are close to the train into Philly, and can get to DC or NY and so much more without much trouble.

PHILOSOPHY

It's good to wander and ask questions as you search out life. Leave places better than you find them if you can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed a couple of times now, and had the opportunity to host as well. Right now my traveling is limited to short trips, but I'm looking forward to longer and further trips in the near future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The folks I've met have been delightful, and truly interesting. Great way to see places.

Interests

I'm a vegan and always on the look for quality vegan grub, also a big fan of live music, ranging from improv jazz, blues, to rock and world music. Beer and wine is good. Contemporary art and primitive/outsider art draws me in. Nature/camping/hiking too. Happy in the mountains or the city.
