CURRENT MISSION

Learn how to make life and work = art and fun.

ABOUT ME

I LOVE talking and connecting with people. I love the fun and simple pleasures in life - good conversation, good food and beer/wine, being a little crazy. Enjoying life, basically.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to listen, share and learn, with an open heart, with everyone I meet. And I try to always keep moving towards more love, more truth, more beauty, more learning, more challenge, more pleasure!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting, surfing, spreading the word, connecting with other hosts in my area.

Music, Movies, and Books

A wide range of everything, be it serious or silly. Though I do have a preference (most of the time) for things that aren't too overtly commercialized... I really dig reverence and irreverence. In general I like being brought to learn and go deeper into the experiences of life through the art that I engage with.
(Though I do sometimes get a weird kick out of marvelling at intensely cheesy things that our society sends our way... infomercials and Austin Powers, for example)
