Nomad looking to consume everything wonderful and everything terrible about every place and person I can make it to before I'm summoned to another journey. I paint, read, write and encourage others to do the same. Consuming spirituality from Christianity to Taoism picking the very best bits to hopefully leave the trail behind me better than it was before I crossed it, is my mental focus. However I do like to go wild chemically and naturally when appropriate. ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Good people, good places, to learn from and teach to whomever and whatever will listen and speak. An experience that cannot be had in hotels and fancy monuments.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Overcame agoraphobia by will of mind after 10 years of medicine failing me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach meditation to center; learn more tolerance; share poetry.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Words, wisdom, art, open ended fun, as well as help with daily/weekly tasks. I also come with an ear for attentive listening, which I've found is the most important thing in life.
