I am a couch surfer, not a host but can't seem to change the settings.
I moved to the Big Island from Albuquerque, New Mexico on inauguration day of this year to look for my next big adventure. I certainly found it but was not able to make a go of it here in Hawai'i. Consequently, I am about to transition back to New York State to finish some things I started.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Teach, Learn, Share

Throughout my life, my father was a big advocate on learning something new every day. I still and will always carry his philosophy in my heart for as long as I am alive, was an invited public speaker at Occupied Wall Street 3 times, got politicians to act from my POV especially when advocating for people with disabilities, co-founded an AIDS/HIV organization and a whole bunch of other stuff too numerous to list
