About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Exploring this world of ideas and perspectives, traveling the middle way.

ABOUT ME

If you let it, life changes fast and Ive been on an electrified arc of transformation for sometime... really you have to get to know me in person to understand this but to put it simply Im a lover of life. I love to travel but love community more, so I've "settled" in Detroit and keep in touch with the friends Ive made around the world. I love being out in nature, especially in the mountains but recognize there is a human need in this society to confront our problems and come together as one so Im urban farmer who socializes the city way and escapes to a tent when I can.

PHILOSOPHY

Be brave with your opinions but not stubborn, it is better to be wrong and learn than to sit in ignorance. In this vast and complex reality we will always know more of nothing than something.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Before I started couchsurfing I picked up couchsurfers hitchhiking, Ive met them in coffeeshops and bars, Ive had friends that have hosted couchsurfers and done it themselves. They've all had good things to say. So I tried it for the first time when a moved to Detroit and it is awesome, what a great community, they got me on my feet here. Now I give back by hosting when I can.
