CURRENT MISSION

Like Pooh, I want to know more of this curious world

ABOUT ME

Open-minded, energetic, generous, and adventurous.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Pay it forward.

Interests

First, people...engaging with friends, family and total strangers. Arrestingly stunning physical settings...sometimes it's the starkest terrain that takes your breath away. Guess that's why I love the Sonoran desert. Physical exertion of any kind, most often on wheels (road bike, mtb, in-line). Reading--fiction, non-fiction, poetry, philosophy. Movies, movies, movies.

• poetry

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Atop a cirque on the GR 20 in Corsica with a 1000' drop to an alpine lake; back-packing in the slot canyons of Northern AZ/Southern Utah; sunrises/sunsets just about any day of the year right where I live in Tucson, AZ

Teach, Learn, Share

How to fix a flat tire on a bike; how to in-line skate or ride a bike; many local hikes

What I Can Share with Hosts

I make a mean quiche and can hold a conversation...with gestures, if needed.
