Trans-continental motorcyclist by day, Zen Buddhist monk by night. California native, though I prefer to think that I'm a universe native. For that matter, is there even a "me" or, even further, a "universe"?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I figure sleeping on a couch is safer than sleeping on trails or in fields. Doesn't Canada have moose or something?

What I Can Share with Hosts
