CURRENT MISSION

Maximize the good and age gracefully

ABOUT ME

I'm happy to be here. Grateful for every story I'm fortunate to take in and excited for the next one. I love to share food with people and find most wonderful conversations happen in the kitchen, around a table, or a fire

PHILOSOPHY

Everything in moderation...even moderation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been quiet on this platform for years, but there is no doubt that my time hosting surfers was highly enriching. I hope to continue meeting folks here and there but unfortunately can no longer host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Absolutely phenomenal.

Interests

Surfing consumes me, of course. Its an addiction and since I've begun gardening a few years ago it is a healthy addiction. The sport has left me in awe countless times and its kept me healthy, alert, and present.

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything written by Tom Robbins and Michael Pollan. Barbara Kingsolver is inching her way up the ladder in my mind, but Robbins and Pollan are still Kings to me.
As far as music is concerned; I adore The Mattson 2. A surfy Jazz duo who can do no wrong and sends my mind soaring to new ideas and old memories. There are too many wonderful bands to mention. I'm just glad there is music.
Now movies...oh movies. So tough to say but lets just go with Dances With Wolves.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Of course, this is one of those things that when someone asks you your mind goes blank.
Now that I think of it I'll say that I had the most beautiful psychedelic experience and I wish the world could have what I had.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to show you how to make the most wonderful broccoli and green beans (separately...but same method)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking! Feasts! All the good stuff, whether you have one burner or a solar oven...I will feed you, and feed you well.
