I have the goal to live an interesting life. A long time ago I learned that the safe and beaten path is not necessarily where the truly awe-inspiring things are found. I am fun loving and enjoy the company of others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To broaden my horizons by meeting people from around the world.

Interests

I enjoy being in nature. I hike, kayak, birdwatch, and fish.
Gardening, raising chickens and pigs.
Cooking and eating.
Yoga, reading, spending time with friends while enjoying a cup of tea.
I like to build. Two years ago I built the house we are presently living in.
My interests very and are ever changing. I have fenced, been a Toastmaster, member of the SCA, chess player, fencer, volunteer fireman, sparks and cub leader.
