About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Adventure. Conducting Electricity.

ABOUT ME

The world has been opening up to me further and further as I have opened up to it. I moved from California to NYC in 2005, when I went freelance with art and at that point I realized I could live anywhere on earth...

Someone asked me my top 5 passions the other night and I said:
5. Hiking in the dark (hard to explain this one)
4. Freedom to travel
3. Graphic Arts (drawn by hand. linocuts, posters/record covers)
2. Music (I'm a bouzouki playing melodic-poetic troubadour of psych-folk tales)
1. Romance (all the good stuff comes from here and grows outwards)

That's all for now!

PHILOSOPHY

When things get slow you have to throw another log on the fire by risking something, opening up, taking a leap of faith.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been a host to several world travellers so far, in my Montréal apartment, just through friends and friends of friends. Now I realize I must join CS as I'm going on the road, and I'll be ready to host later in the year when I settle back here.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far just Los Angeles, which turned out far better than I was hoping.

Interests

Exchange of ideas. Listening, responding. Expression, and unblocking the obstacles to it. Linocuts. Illustration. Poetry and melody. Telling stories under a tree in a glade by a river.
