Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf and I host!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted many over the years and did lots of surfing in the summer of 2008 throughout Europe. I have had great experiences, met amazing people, and seen beautiful things through the people I met through CS. BUT - it is incredible difficult to find hosts in some places!

Interests

Music (I play guitar, sax, didgeridoo, duduk & other flutes, harmonica, kazoo, et al.), plants (especially carnivorous plants), wild mushrooms,
hikes, photography. I also like: insects, old bicycles, finding trash and making it useful (like clothes and fotographs), the sky after it rains, poems, improvisation, this moment, and David Attenborough documentaries. here is some tasty music I've been working on: http://www.audiafauna.com

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ate pigs' testicles (it was a delicassy where I was).

Teach, Learn, Share

after spending years in universities, my biggest lessons have come from interacting with friends, strangers, and from my own experiences/adventures. I can teach you how to play the guitar, mouth harp, didgeridoo, and various other toys. Also, I love to cook and share meals with hungry humans.
