Friends, Brothers and Sisters...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Seeking to meet international friends, and have a roof over my head for those rainy days bound to come.

Interests

I enjoy to speak foreign languages, as well as share my native American West Coast English. I am an active and passive person who loves to hike long and far into the natural forests and sit for quite some time, perhaps set up a solo camp and stay the night by a fire. I enjoy spending time with Children, as well as non-cranky Elders... I am skilled in the ways of the Earth compared to most and learning from those who are more skilled than myself. I like human things, but non-American lifestyle things are my favorite: such as living with little resources, mediating on all that I am thankful for, and digressing from current state of mind into a more humble one. If you read all of this, you get a gold star.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've worked my last four (now 5) summers to guide/teach/facilitate children ages 4-17 into natural areas and teach them survival skills, tracking, fishing, archery and fire.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My smile is contagious! I have OCD, ADD, and a bi-polar calm/boisterous personality. I share stories of my life in Oregon and those I have acquired while travelling/living, and will always be thankful to you for hosting me.
