CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Like to meet friends for hiking, biking, beach, river swimming, camping. Love outdoors activies along with music and travel and talk and finding new places to enjoy life

PHILOSOPHY

The Universe has only one answer to every prayer: "YES". Think about it.

A good can never come from a bad - ever, it's karma. And the Universe is fair - think about it. The badest bad is the lust to control another human. Just avoid that and life is good, peaceful and harmonious.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been fortunate to be both a host and a guest. And if I can't always be traveling around the world, then I hope CS can bring some world travelers to me!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This whole concept is great. Incredibly great way to bring like minded people together and again. Wish there'd been teh intrenets decades ago!

Music, Movies, and Books

classical music, a little bit of classic fiction, loads of political philosophy and economics and history and art books.

I like entertaining movies. Not depressing serious "films". I enjoy most genres of movies, just depends on the particular movie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Petra; swimming in a Bora Bora lagoon; climbing pyramids in Tikal; biking around the Vatican, hitch-hiking (hitch-boating?) on a catamaran in Belize; gazing at Botticelli's "Primavera" in Firenze.

Teach, Learn, Share

“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." - Saint Augustine

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm like an onion, you can keep peeling back the layers and keep finding something new.
