ABOUT ME

Just taking a walk down this long, dusty road.

PHILOSOPHY

I like meeting people. I think hospitality is important. I'm friendly and love simple conversations with great depth and quiet knowing. I like reading faces and people who can read minds.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted and been hosted by all sorts of interesting people who have affected my life in magical ways. I always look forward to meeting more people through surfing and hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've given up backpacking and taken up moving from friend to friend to see how their lives work in foreign lands. I've hosted some great people.
