CURRENT MISSION

Help bring solar-powered Personal Rapid Transit to Massachusetts. Create illustrated walking tour maps of Hull. Create a path to the Straits Pond Island as part of protecting land along the Weir River Woods.

ABOUT ME

I live in Hull, a peninsula that closes in southern Boston Bay. I am interested in helping stabilize the world's climate by working at a local level to establish 100% local clean energy. I am working on creating a JPods Solar Personal Rapid Transit system in the Boston area. I am grateful to have an electric Local Use Vehicle (that looks like a golf cart but is street legal).

PHILOSOPHY

Begin with gratitude. Gratitude brings more good things into life.
Love is the most important thing in the universe.
Everything is a gift. Look for the gift.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My partner Michael, who passed on in July 2017, and I have had more than 17 couchsurfing visits , which we have enjoyed very much. Right now I have several housemates living with me, which may limit my ability to host you.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Michael and I stayed at three homes and greatly appreciated the hospitality we experienced. My younger son Blake Wiers in San Francisco made a movie called "The Three Month Rule" about a couchsurfer. Prior to joining CouchSurfing, our experience was with staying with family.

Interests

Enjoying the beauty of our world.
Riding electric-assist bicycles and street-legal electric Local Use Vehicles as our main means of transportation.
I am an artist. I have made illustrated walking tour maps of Hull. I draw portraits, paint watercolors and have written, illustrated and published a fun children's book called "nan-tas-ket aa-buh-cuh" which opens the door to reading. I participate in hullartist.com open studios.
