Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To make my first trip to Europe and see it through the eyes of locals
PHILOSOPHY
I personally am very interested in the fate of our planet and much of what I do stems from the belief that we must minimize our impact and appreciate/protect to the fullest all that the earth has given us. I also feel that each of us must find happiness in order to be as effective as we can in the wolrd. We are only here for a short while and if we can have as much fun and do as little harm as possible while we're here that is a life well lived.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have yet to "formally" couchsurf through this website. The times I have done so on my own have been enjoyable because it has given me the opportunity to experience the local culture in a way that would not be possible staying at a hotel or even hostel.

all things green/sustainable, mountain biking, gardening, landscape design/construction, camping, hiking, hanggliding, visiting new places, learning languages, good art, good live music, working on my house, cities, wilderness.
