I've traveled in Europe, India, Nepal, Central America, the Balkans Eastern Europe, Russia and Mexico. Peace and Justice activism is the core of my work, and 10 years ago switched to focused on energy policy, based on my concern about global warming and realizing from the wars in the Middle East that we would continue starting wars over energy reserves. I started a company developing energy modeling software for buildings. We have a large garden and greenhouse, and our home is net-zero using photovoltaics and solar thermal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have always liked living and working in community, and miss the communal life I had when we started a land trust in Louisiana in the 70's. And I don't like hotels! I've been a member of Servas, an international organization that promotes peace through travel since 1985, mostly as a host in Denver.
