About Me

I'm a person, I'm pretty sure of that. I like some things and don't like other things, I can tell you that, but I try not to let it bother me too much. More to the point, I try not to let it let me bother other people, especially when it's the other people bothering me! Otherwise I don't really know, guess I'll find that out. What I can say for certain is that I like interesting things and what matters most to me are ideas, stories, principles, family and... ugh, feelings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people, go places and talk about places with people.
Something about good times and learning stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Is this about an achievement or an experience, I can't tell. In the first case it's something that came from me, in the second, something that happened to me. See what I mean about overthinking.
In either case, I don't like the question.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything, anything, anything (subject to revision).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Words and deeds
from thoughts and creeds
that plant the seeds
of a mind that frees
amongst the reeds
in a time that needs

In other words, a load of nonesense.
