Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've got a high "openness to experience" on the big 5 personality traits list.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm getting into Flashman novels and Peter Drucker. Is that a weird combo?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Aww shucks... I sailed around the coral atolls of the Cook Islands on a cargo ship?

Teach, Learn, Share

I like helping people resolve really wicked, hard, complicated challenges. I see things (opportunities) others don't see. Apparently, it's an enneagram 9 trait, if that means anything to you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I take the ancient Greek concept of xenia (the guest-host relationship) seriously. I'm practiced at being a good guest/traveller.
