About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life

ABOUT ME

I found a home for awhile. I fell back into my old-college-town in Ashland, WI. I'm teaching a little at the local colleges and enjoying life in my small town. (I don't like the winters too much though.)

PHILOSOPHY

I'm very socially conscious; I support the workers of the world. It annoys some people sometimes. I just like to talk about what's going on in the world and sometimes I get pretty excited about my beliefs. :) I like to think I listen too. I enjoy anyone who thinks about the world and their place in it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm hosting now.

I hope to surf in Europe or Latin America soon!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far someone from Sweden and a couple from Madison, WI stayed at my place. I have couchsurfed in Eugene and Denver. It was awesome each time.

Interests

I love: nature and bridges, playing board games and Rock Band, eating and cooking, drinking beer and wine, exploring, reading in a bar or coffeeshop, going to a variety of live shows, kayaking, hiking;, taking photographs, music and literature.
