I'm a curious, openhearted poet. I was a farmer for a long time before coming back to schol. I like to play the guitar, ride my bike around, and meet new friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that society is healthier when we make an effort to connect with strangers.

Also: poverty, curiosity, and a vested interest in the local scoop.

I'm psyched to get started with this, actually! Air B'n'B has become less like this over the years; I miss getting to know my hosts.
