About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm trying to figure out my future entrepreneurial calling... trying to figure out this space between Innkeeper, spa-owner, and eco-resort owner... so trying to cut my teeth on the whole hospitality thing.

ABOUT ME

An easy-going open person that works from home. I've traveled a fair bit, so I feel like I get the 'protocol' when it comes to how much space is the right amount of space to give new friends.

PHILOSOPHY

I've abandoned all the ones I've ever adopted. Taoism or pantheism are my favorites.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't yet, but I'd like to build up a network while I'm here in Seattle and maybe hit up some folks when I go on these two trips I have planned... a.) Go up the Mississippi looking for good music b.) Take a wall tent through the arid southwest looking for interesting oddities. c.) Hit South American cities while working from them.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't hosted nor surfed yet... but I am finally up for changing both of those facts. I've done a lot of backpacking and get the protocol for all this schtuff.

Interests
