About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore and help heal the world.

ABOUT ME

I love new people and ideas. I like to look under the surface, in relationships, in politics, in art, in life. I can't stand insincerity. I like happiness, but I think the only way to appreciate it is to feel sad too. I like to be challenged and to overcome. I don't like to conform. I love to help people.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the oneness of all things and people. I live to help others, and to help build a better future. I don't like greediness or selfishness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am happy to help people who want to come to my area... but New Jersey isn't the biggest tourist attraction in the world! And I'm happy to work for and with anyone I stay with, in a variety of ways.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met some people, had only positive experiences.

Interests

Ideas, compassion, languages, spirituality, building a better world, looking past the "official story" in the media, government, society, the works of Edgar Cayce.

1984 and most things by Orwell, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, The Godfather (book and movies), documentary films, A Hundred Years of Solitude, Catch 22, Pulp Fiction (a deep film), Citizen Kane, The Beatles, anything about Edgar Cayce... such an incomplete list!
