CURRENT MISSION

Art, Service, Technology of the Heart

ABOUT ME

Living in Minneapolis right now. Popping back and forth to Eau Claire, WI to help take care of a loved one. Exploring all manners of things all the time. I get into farming, technology, writing, creativity in many guises, producing a wacky band (though I'm not a musician), learning and doing home improvement/handyman things, delving into interesting endeavors of all manners.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to examine a great many different philosophies and try not to believe too deeply in anything in particular. Incorporate the useful ones and release the harmful ones.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have surfed and hosted many times in the past. Have developed great friendships through Couchsurfing. Creative connecting and generosity are wonderful things. There is often momentum toward the impersonal and mechanical in many nooks of our world, but we don't have to comply! CS provides a great opportunity for people to really see each other and share.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great! Many wonderful connections. World view expands.
