CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to make enough money to travel to Amsterdam this summer and visit the Rittman Library along with a few art museums and music venues. I'm a scholar of medieval religious cults and heresies. I also play jazz music and enjoy eating

ABOUT ME

eclectic and curious to know. How do others live and find enjoyment?

PHILOSOPHY

There are kind and curteous people wherever you go. If you act in such a way, you will find them. Everyone is interesting in some way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have crashed on people's couches when entering a town wherein a travel companion or myself has friends or relatives. I once slept in a North Carolina cabin in the mountains. I also once crashed in a castle near Munich Germany with the daughter of a German embassador to the United States.

Interests

Medieval religious iconography, music and arts and sciences. I love food and drink and good company.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I participated in the initial bombing of Afghanistan after New York was attacked in 2001. I once guarded Robin Williams' suitcase and just the other day I hit a two-out walk-off homerun in the pouring rain.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know some hillbilly arts and survival techniques for living off the land. I also know some philosophy and music theory. I can converse on a wide range of topics and activities.
