About Me

What did Henry Lightcap want? He wanted everything. (What else is there?)

He wanted simplicity - a life of order, ceremony, frugality, beauty, passion, and generosity. Of clean frugality, hard beauty, fierce passion and abundant - munificent - overwhelming - generosity. The GOOD LIFE.

(Edward Abbey, The Fool's Progress)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is great!I unfortunately have yet to host, but I've been lucky enough to be hosted three times. Each time my hosts showed me overwhelming generosity, guided me around their town/city/nearby mountains, and were fun people to get to know. I'm excited to couchsurf again on my next adventure : )
