Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will participate by providing hospitality and accomodations for people passing through Tegucigulpa, Honduras.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My son arranged for a place/couch in Florida - that's really what prompted me to become a member of this community; my experience was fantastic, and I plan to surf my whole life.

Interests

I am always up for a dive or a snorkel, a run, a bike ride,some fishing, or a good meal with family and friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies- Forrest Gump is wonderful;I am also a sucker for all Will Ferell movies.
Music- Dave Mathews, Paul Simon, a good drum line, Don Ellis, James Taylor, Cat Stevens, different music from other cultures - and stuff shared with me by my brother and my kids.
Books- Right now I am really eating up all books exploring Buddhism.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once watched a brown paper bag fall from the sky(it was very calm/no wind)and land about 20 ft from me. I don't know how/why it caught my eye, but I watched it for more than 60 seconds as it descended to the earth - where it came from I don't know (OK, I'm guessing it dropped out of a plane that had passed with out my noticing, but I don't know this for sure).

Teach, Learn, Share

I am starting to understand a little bit about living with continual mindfulness- on the one hand it's quite simple, but on the otherhand it's some heavy stuff.
