About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To get more art out of life.

ABOUT ME

A variety of high and low frequencies combine to create a multitude of available and evolving facets to match the complicated yet ever-changing scenery. I am like a Birkenstock that forms to the sole and contours of whatever foot happens to jump on board. Though best enjoyed on a warm day in the sun, I try to find the good in even the cloudiest of days.

PHILOSOPHY

You can dance if you want to...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to host whenever I can and I also enjoy being hosted. Most rewarding is having good contacts in foreign places.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed couches, chairs, coffee tables, bath tubs, water beds, straw mats, and cars before. I have and do host whenever my schedule permits it.

Interests

The outdoors (rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, camping, skiing, swimming, table tennis), stimulating books/movies, human beings and other wild animals, outerspace, music, travelling, cosmic energy, social responsibility, ecology, economics, treasure maps and bicycles built for two.

Jazz, world, funk, junk, latin, african, a little hip-hop, a bit of pop, occasional Johnny Cash, lots of classic rock, Michael Jackson at a dance party...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not an expert on anything, but I stay well-informed on a lot of things. I enjoy discussing the economic mess we are in and why we are in it. I've got a host of knowledge about the southwest US, as well as most of the places on my travel list. Cooking is a pleasure I enjoy sharing with others and I am trying to learn more about gardening, dancing, Portuguese and art, of course...
