CURRENT MISSION

To give back a bit of the couch-goodness I have received in my lifetime

ABOUT ME

I am a 43 year old genderqueer, childfree, Green-Party-supportin', birkenstock/Keen-wearin', Star-Trek-lovin', hypergraphic, Leo (Sag rising, moon in Taurus), year of the rat, Canadian computer technician. Who loves to write. And sing. And travel. And play bocce ball.

I travel pretty frequently all over hell's half acre, as they say, and I love communal living.

My home is drug free.

PHILOSOPHY

"Patterns will repeat forevermore until you realize the common denominator is YOU"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I roadtripped extensively in 2008 for about four months, and mostly lived in a converted Dodge Grand Caravan. I have a kajillion online friends, so I wound up inadvertently couch surfing, although no one technically had an account here, just were awesome hosts. I love people, I love getting to know a place through its people and I decided to join Couchsurfers. I've hosted a few people and enjoyed it completely. I recently moved out to the country, and I'm looking forward to opening up my country home to more travellers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Played host to couchsurfers, and stayed on MULTIPLE couches in my travels... Have some experience couchsurfing as a guest, and LOVED it. Love the site, love the concept and love travelling and hosting travellers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in the Canadian Arctic for a year. Ran in three elections as the Green Party candidate (two federal, one provincial). Road tripped through 49 states, 9 provinces and 3 territories.

Teach, Learn, Share

All sorts. When I was in rural Missouri, I stayed five days with a born again christian Republican family of six and decided that 'when in Rome..." (we couldn't be more different) and I had a fabulous time, they were such wonderful hosts. I enjoy travel and love the company of others who love travelling too. Everything elses is gravy.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hilarity! Conversation! Communion with a like mind!
