Hello, my fellow surfers! I am fully vaccinated and I have my card with me. I am a woodworking, knifemaking yogi in Fayetteville, Arkansas. I grew up in Kansas and I have lived in Northwest Arkansas for the last 10 years.

I love to travel, and I want to continue to do so as long as I am able. I used to Couchsurf all over the world, but I was locked out of my old account and forced to start over in 2017. I was an active host for many years. I'm currently unable to host because I am caretaking a home, but someday soon I will be able to host again.

I love to spread good energy. I've been told I'm energizing by some folks. I try to leave a place better than I found it, and I have the utmost respect and gratitude for you as a host or guest. I want to take advantage of the opportunity to see you. Thank you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I sometimes travel, sometimes host. Seasons change. Right now, I am on in order to meet fellow journeyers and to allow myself to travel as I am currently out of a job.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitchhiked across China without a backpack.

Teach, Learn, Share

We are all aperatures through which the universe looks at itself. - Allan Watts

Yes. And I find that the less I identify as a separate thing that was placed into this universe, the better I do. It's a happening, and we're it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I feel that I know a lot about a little. I have a good sense of humor, and I like talking. I have been lucky enough to work with people from all over the world for 12 years as an English teacher. I also have experience in corporate America. I am an enthusiast and hobbyist, and I love learning about new things and making connections. I think that's what I usually bring to hosts...along with a bottle of wine. ;)
