Chi sono
CURRENT MISSION
Sharing a smile and a story with all people, places, and things
ABOUT ME
I live to laugh and be honest, to meet people and places, and share everything I can from stories, music, and knowledge to hiking, farming, and sport. I can make tasty omelettes. I love to explore every corner of our world and our mind that can be explored. This year I'm trying to write, farm, and find medicine for my father, because they are beautiful challenges and now is the time.
PHILOSOPHY
Smile with attention at the forces that be.
Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I feel lucky to be a part of the community that is our world, and there are so many phenomenal people and parts of that community. I try to help out where and when I can, and like many of us I'm trying to figure out where I'm needed. Most of all, I care deeply about finding meaning in a conversation, a bag of "garbage," a seed, daylight, fire, my own two hands, your own two hands, things like that. I feel strongly that every bit of energy we give and take makes a difference. Just my gut. And meeting all of you folks is downright fantastic.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I'm new to couchsurfing but not new to being a respectful, fun, clean, and contributing guest, I promise.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto
That's a tough one. Come back to me in a bit. Actually, this one time I was hiking out of Machtesh Ramon at sunset and this crazy regal ram and his fiercely fierce horns were perched at the mouth of the trail exiting this mammoth expanse that is our world's second largest crater. In that moment Ramses (for that must have been his name) owned the landscape, maybe the entire Negev Desert. I don't have a camera, but I asked Ramses to strike a pose. "Do something spontaneous!", I ordered the beast, and he stared at me with those "Who are you to tell Ramses what to do?" eyes, then sneezed with the pitch, grace, and surprise of a little girl. What a silly silly thing. I, of course, had to laugh very loudly in complete silence, because he was, after all, still the King of the desert. I guess that wasn't "Amazing" and I didn't "do it," but still, let's hope couchsurfing doesn't kick me off for rule breaking.
