Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I am taking a month long trip to the Yucatan, from Cancun to Chetumal, along the coast, looking for a spot to settle in not far from the sea. I have tired of stuff, and distractions, and can no longer afford this land of the free. I'm bringing a fly rod, and want to test the waters. Stated simply in song....... Papa I’m a sinking slow In the low land sea Like that cabin boy you sang about On the Golden Vanity River of life she’s behind me now All is water, wind and sky I’m drifting in I’m drift out With the changing of the tides

One Amazing Thing I've Done
I have managed to retain the spirit of a child throughout my adult life. I play at work, and work at play. I like to laugh at myself, but not at others. I am most uncomfortable in groups where shared beliefs and values are required for acceptance.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach: English, Guitar, American history, carpentry, building Share: Songs, humor, music, My language, my observations, and humor are open to all, just so long as the atmosphere is not filled with absolutes, time is not pressing, and the process is full of pleasure. Learn: I am hoping to discover flats to wade without a boat or a guide.
