CURRENT MISSION

To return to other travelers the wonderful hospitality shown to me by locals all over the world.

ABOUT ME

I live a loving, open life with Wendy and friends I/we meet in life's journey.

We are active in our community and interested in community building and conscious community. Google: Network For A New Culture.

Currntly, we are away from home - traveling in US and Mexico, camping in BC in the summer. You can find us in a little trailer on the beach about 1/2 km north of La Manzanilla, Jalisco, Mexico Dec to end Feb 2017. Google it. See you there!

PHILOSOPHY

Love and openness as a state of being. Awareness and presence. Bringing joy and empowerment to others.
Celebrating freedom physically, emotionally and spiritually. Experiencing the many ways we are all one.
The profound mystery that is Nature. Green lifestyle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Open our home and stay with others when we travel. We go south in the winters. Mex and US Nov to Apr 2016. Many invitations are out - to CS'ers and Non CS'ers WHEN WE ARE HOME!
We have had great times hosting - nature and canoeing on the Salish Sea the big draw on Pender. Living, meditating, celebrating and loving communally in nature the draw at our house! "Hosting" has been part of our style the last 25 years!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed in many homes by meeting locals and being interested in them and their culture or views of the world when I traveled extensively in the "70's".
Lived communally 20 years in Vancouver BC We had so many visitors over those years.

Highlights of Kushad's trip to Mexico included CS stays in Dallas and Puerto Vallarta - both wonderful!

All our hosting experiences have been interesting, fun and memorable so far!
