About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see new sights with people who think in ways that are different from my own.

ABOUT ME

I recently retired from my business as an organic vegetable and poultry farmer to reinvigorate personal creativity direction and growth. I am committed to be exposed to new ideas and people beyond my agricultural past. I am enthused and energetic and involved in just about anything. I am an extroverted people person and am always curious about what and who they are.

As for myself, it's pretty obvious who i am once you meet me because I am not a shy person.

PHILOSOPHY

No one person should restrict others from being who they want to be, in fact they should support that diversity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My couch is open to those who wish to sleep there. Now I am surfing in Central America and hope to find hospitality from others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed extensively in india and have been grateful for the warmth and hospitality received.

Interests

I like to meet people with different ideas than my own.
More than anything I enjoy cooking while listening to music.
As cliche as it seems I like talking walks in the woods.
I enjoy sitting around a big table with friends, with lots of food, and a lot to talk about

Music, Movies, and Books

World according to garp- John Irving
Barbara king solver

As far as movies go, most everything entertains me. If it doesn't ill just go to sleep.

I listen to all music, though I guiltily listen to rhythms more than I do lyrics, except for the bands U2 and Brittany spears
