ABOUT ME

Pensive. Spontaneous. Diplomatic. Investigative. Skeptical. Information sponge. Connecting with the outdoors. Finally, music is a spiritual experience for me.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Free of money, but full of so much other richness! I'm in it for the people, conversations, and searching for "it" or "quality" or "authenticity" or whatever you want to call it.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I have hitchhiked from Copenhagen to Marseilles over the course of two months. As anyone who has done something similar will summarize, it truly is impossible to quantify the impact of this particular experience. Some people I met were so intricate I am still trying to mentally dissect them. Others were more like photographs, very static. Along this trip, I swam in the Baltic Sea sandwiched between Denmark and Germany, rode in a "time-machine" (a Swedish band's touring VW bus) that brought me back to the 70's, and met an Algerian-born French midnight shift truck driver who so powerfully told me: "I LOVE the funky music."

教，学，和分享

Music. I want to master the guitar, not just know it. One current project is learning to play slide. Also, the harmonica is an interest as well.

Language. I want to learn and share. I recognize it is often emotionally difficult, but please, share let's share in one of the most beautiful human creations.

And a bunch of other random things.
