Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m a well traveled adventure seeker. I’m also fundamentally frugal, and this is just a spectacular idea. I suspect that I am going to meet some really wonderful people on this website !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled around China one year after Tiananmen. VERY interesting.

Teach, Learn, Share

The grace of God is a tangible part of my life. I have a conscious aspiration to have a positive impact on each person I interact with every day.

What I Can Share with Hosts

When I receive generosity from someone, I feel the weight of obligation to reciprocate. That can manifest itself in a number of pragmatic or creative ways. It could mean anything from helping organize your garage, helping with landscaping, providing a wonderful meal or two, to helping deploy a plan against a ‘What are you afraid of?’ list ! One of the gifts of getting older is the accumulation of wisdom. I have facilitated a myriad of different types of self help/recovery groups. If asked, I can share tools to help live life more effectively. By the grace of God, I’ve never had a drug or alcohol problem, but many of my friends have.
