CURRENT MISSION

To treat all people like humans and discover the best way to make a huckleberry pie.

ABOUT ME

Married, no kids, just 13 chickens. My wife and I are both teachers, French speakers, ambitious amateur gardners, and lovers of people, wine, food, and good books.
I play bluegrass, country, and Americana music on the banjo, mandolin, and guitar. I love to jam with folks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to host people in Mende, France. I would also like to do some surfing while traveling in Europe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met some surfers that my friend hosted and loved the idea and the people I met through him.
We've surfed a handful of times and had great experiences and met great people.
We've hosted a few times also and enjoyed it.

Interests

Music, food, wine, poetry, literature, social and political mumbo jumbo, and people of all kinds. I love the outdoors: biking, hiking, hunting, etc.
