ABOUT ME

I'm a happy traveler.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I grew up in a community where hospitality is important. I try to be a good guest, and love to feed and shelter folks when I get the chance.

Music, Movies, and Books

"Nothing has worked. Four hoarse blasts of a ship's whistle still raise the hair on my neck and set my feet to tapping. The sound of a jet, an engine warming up, even the clopping of shod hooves on pavement brings on the ancient shudder, the dry mouth and vacant eye, the hot palms and the churn of stomach high over the rib cage. In other words, I
don't improve; in further words, once a bum, always a bum. I fear the disease is incurable."

-- John Steinbeck, Travels With Charlie

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I like to be awake in moments when you know the rest of the world is sleeping-- seeing shooting stars in the Jordanian desert, running through thunderstorms on the Mongolian steppe, or nodding good morning to bears in the mountains of California
