About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to hug at least one person on every continent--then, every country!

ABOUT ME

I am a thinker, writer, poet, dreamer, traveler, musician, experiencer, student and mentor. Queer, sex-positive, spiritual, nerdy, boyish, and quiet with occasional outbursts. I find inspiration in all things and all people, and endeavor always to not hold myself back from enjoying life and all it has to offer.

PHILOSOPHY

Oh, so many. Drink with me and find out ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have two cozy couches that are always open for business and a friendly houseful of beautiful folks. I love to travel but rarely have the means to do so lately now that I'm away from home, so I'd love to take up on someone else's couch for a change!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very little, but I'm always offering our couches to friends and family who visit us!

Interests

Reading, walking, exploring, contemplating, meditating, painting, drawing, writing, kissing, cuddling, hugging, loving. New things, old things, and anything to do with robots and nature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meditating on the Cliffs of Moher near Galway, Ireland was one of the most peaceful yet exhilarating experiences of my life. One of those fantastic moments of being completely overwhelmed by emotion and spiritual mindfulness. Absolutely beautiful.
