ABOUT ME

When I was five, I used to pretend to drive my mother's datsun in our driveway. One day it rolled down the steep driveway, across the road, and into the ditch. The excitement of travel hasn't left me.

PHILOSOPHY

fill your life with goodwill, and
good you will feel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Someday, when I have a place, and a couch, I will offer it. For now, I can only offer a seat next to me on a parkbench. I appreciate everyone that has offered me their couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Finding the best airports for couch-surfing is valuable too. I find the very best to be Shannon Ireland.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Playing frisbee with two Tarahumara children in Barrancas del Cobre (Copper Canyon) of Mexico. After showing them several times how to throw it, they insisted on throwing it up-side-down, we still had a blast.

Teach, Learn, Share

Figure out what is keeping you from what you want to do, and throw it out the window.
