CURRENT MISSION

Live close to nature - make a difference when I can - make life an adventure - try not to take things too seriously.

ABOUT ME

Here's what I'm up to this summer:

Writing a feature film about a family farm.
Leading Sunday nature hikes at Wild Basin.
Caring for my ailing dog of 16 years.
Organizing for the U.S. Campaign for Burma.
Rediscovering fiction and loving it!
Editing a documentary about the Civilian Conservation Corps.
Shooting a photo essay about Burmese immigrants living in Austin.
Making a point of finding more live funk music in town.
Planning for my first tattoo.
Challenging myself to go without my car.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Most of us have been couch surfers long before the website gave it a name with a capital 'C'. I want to meet more people like myself and lend a helping hand when I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new around here, so I'm looking forward to updating this field. I've traveling a lot and always prefer home-stays when I can find them. Nothing compares to spending time with 'real' people where ever you go.
