CURRENT MISSION

Get rid of everything, but keep the flowers.

ABOUT ME

Precise, Judicious, Egalitarian. Curious. I don't have a lot of anything but books and love.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in generosity, kindness and excellence. I demand the best of my experience. I require truth from myself and my environments. I believe in being afraid often, and facing that feeling. I believe in accumulating wisdom to share it and revel in its radiance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In 2011 I spent a month Germany (with stops in Amsterdam and Paris). The couchsurfers and hosts I met were SO INCREDIBLE. It was them that made the trip amazing, a much richer, fuller experience. They helped me appreciate the truth of their cities and discover the treasures therein. Being a part of this community is an honor, and a blessing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Meteora, Greece (near the city of Kalambaka, where the water makes all the people beautiful) there are monasteries that will blow your mind because they are built upon the tippity top of jagged sandstone cliffs.
