ABOUT ME

I just want to travel for a good long while.

PHILOSOPHY

"I'll take the couch"

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I am able, I like to provide a space in my life to get to know new people. If that space is a couch, or a bed, or a hammock, so be it. I even try to have some clean clothes on hand of some sort.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not sought a couch while traveling myself, I have only hosted thus far. But in my own travels, I have encountered lots of people of different walks of life, so I appreciate the variety of experiences and personalities that I encounter from facilitating travelers on their way to or from somewhere exciting. :)

I have met beautiful people through trusting, and opening up, and sharing. I have been a traveler in a foreign land, and had a merciful stranger open their homes to me. I love the feeling of basic human comfort above the extravagance of unreal, automated, hotel resorts when I travel. And I happen to be able to supply the former at this stage of my life :)

音乐、电影和书籍

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is my number one favorite book, and I am currently reading 'Lila' by the same author.

I have not been reading much recently as my books are packed away. But they are book marked. I love Edgar Allan Poe, Jack London, Oscar Wilde, Thomas Paine, His Holiness the Dali Lama, Stephen Hawking, Neil Degrasse Tyson, Carl Sagan, Jason Silva, Joe Rogan, David Cross

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I suppose I could say I have experienced true love. but that's not the sort of story one tells in writing.

教，学，和分享

I have read into many different aspects of self-sustained living. I am currently studying various modes of house construction, from hay bale houses, to earthship houses, to Geodesic dome structures to shipping container houses. it is a very broad and varied category, but I like sharing novel ideas I come across, and talking about this sort of thing from a design or layout perspective, as it is all sort of brain storming for me. I grew up on a farm, I helped my father and brother build a house and was involved in everything from the cutting of trees, and milling into boards, and on through plumbing and electricity, and I have varied amounts of skill in all of the various aspects of home construction. I am otherwise very poorly educated, though I have managed to several semesters at college.
