About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world without seeing a bankruptcy court at the end...

ABOUT ME

I could never get all of me into this little box, so I won't even try. Suffice it to say that I have more facets than anyone will ever get to see and know, so expect the unexpected.

When home, I live on 40 acres of land in the middle of nowhere in Colorado... ask me about it, I dare you ;^)

PHILOSOPHY

I doubt they would let me quote the entire Tao Te Ching here, but that would be a pretty good summary...

Quote of the week: "This is life / what a f'ed up thing we do / what a nightmare come true / or a playground if we choose / and I choose..."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was on here a lot many years ago, and have met some great people, but kind of had a hiatus. Now that I am back to travelling for a living, I usually do not need a host where I am going, but I enjoy hearing from and meeting up with locals who know places off the beaten path. Getting out of the insanity of the city, into nature, and to places with a good view and good sunset are what I am mostly after...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watched the sun go down, then flew up high and fast enough to bring the sun back up, and got to watch it go down again over the next hour and a half... indescribably beautiful...
