About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Laugh. Dance. Learn. Usually in that order.

ABOUT ME

Well, wherever there's a warm tasty something, maybe a fire and a happy song, that's where I try to be come nightfall. I am always seeking stories, through my own wanderings and through others, and I've found the best way to collect them is to keep in forward motion. And life never disappoints me.

PHILOSOPHY

Follow the wind, and try to be a little like it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfed a little so far, and have hosted some folks passing thru.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with some folks in Colombia, and met a bunch of CSers along the road too--good people, by and large.

Interests

Surfing, skating, singing, dancing, hooting---anything that keeps me moving. Anything I can do outdoors. Eating, laughing, whatever. And my work is fun, too, on good days!

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Delivered twins by C-section to a Malagasy peasant couple. And they named one of the babies Julian!

Teach, Learn, Share

When I get a little free time, I surf and play the guitar. I try to know a bit about jazz music and history and the natural world. I have a few stories to tell, but I try to keep them short and funny. I can help you with English or Chinese, whichever you need help with. And I figure that just about anyone I meet has something interesting to teach me too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good old time.

China, Colombia, India, Madagascar, Mozambique, Peru, South Africa
