关于我
ABOUT ME
I am a fun-loving religion professor (world religions, not the Bible), one might better say "global awareness competencies". People say I am relaxed, kind and funny, if eccentric. I now live in Thailand in a place over-looking the old city from my seventh floor hotel room in Ubon, Thailand. I have chosen to live here and am so happy doing so. I pay my way, teaching for the University of Wisconsin and Central Michigan universities, religion and Buddhism online for Linfield College.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing
I love to meet fellow travelers and offer them a free place to stay. It builds up some good karma for me as I seek to do the same for myself.
I sincerely prefer meeting people and spending money taking them out to their favorite place rather than being alone in a hotel. I want to know the culture when I visit places and what better way to do that?
兴趣
I love teaching the religions and philosophical systems of earth, but as a social scientist, not a believer in any single one of them, but a believer in science and to varying degrees, all the religions. I have hundreds of documentaries on religion on the internet, with almost 4 million views. I love talking about religion and science a lot.

音乐、电影和书籍
I Heart Huckabees is definitely my favorite movie of all time. Stranger in a Strange Land is a favorite book, along with Religion and Nothingness. Beethoven's symphonies, Abba, are among my diverse, favorite music genres.
我做过的一件不可思议的事情
Apart from traveling, my most amazing encounters are in the classroom...I learn a lot from my students. I have had the chance to volunteer teach in some Thai classrooms and these are most amazing...so very different.
