About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My bag of anecdotes is growing stale... I need new and wild adventures to fill it up with.

ABOUT ME

Short version:
Each day I try to have fun, be kind to both friends and strangers and learn or discover something new.

Long Version:
I do not own a TV, I do not read newspapers, I do not care much for politics or sports mainstream media and music. I have quite a large music collection, I have quite a few cameras, I have read quite a few books (a bookshelf is no substitute for a public library), I have a lot of quirky stories and wisdom to disperse.

I like stories, narration, communication, people, places, histories and lives undiscovered.

I like to talk and listen and write and paint and draw and shoot photos and cook and drink and dance and sing and laugh and have fun.

I have a wife, she's a better cook and photographer than I am. We have 3 kids, they're brilliant and quite a handful, but then all kids are.

I have an inquisitive mind and I want to know everything about everything and I know that there will never be enough time to do all the things I would like to do and see all the places I would like to see and meet all the people I would like to meet.

But I am certain that, in the end, it will all be all right.

PHILOSOPHY

Understatement, humour and sarcasm will get you into trouble as quickly as get you out of it with the majority of people.

The remaining minority usually has nothing of interest to me.

No regrets. No fears. No apologies. No explanations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I tend to host more than I travel.

Interests

I am interested in nearly anything I encounter, but mostly in things that are a bit less than common in todays single-lane society.

  • books
  • singing
  • dancing
  • cooking
  • drinking
  • politics
  • tv
  • traveling
  • painting
  • drawing
  • music
  • sports
  • communications

Music, Movies, and Books

If someone took the time to make it I'm willing to make some time to watch/listen/read it. It's as simple as that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ask my in person... I do anecdotes, not memoires!
