PHILOSOPHY
Play hard
My big regrets are the things I put off till later.
It is time to stop that as the hour glass is about half full.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have hitch hiked from Maine to San Diego Been a Climbing bum, surf bum and sailing bum. I couched surfed before I heard the term.
It is time in a 21th century way to do it again
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Couch surfing in the 70s led me to couches in houses on boats and docks.
From a (schools out) rock star on Flower St. to a sea weed gather in Key West.
To a couch on a small Island with only one tractor and one car for the hole place.
I saw the tractor and heard of the car.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Define amazing.(to you)
Swimming with an alligator by accident did not seem amazing at the time.
My first time sleeping on top of Half Dome was Incredible.
Sun sets and early morning light can be amazing.
That you can meet an adult living in Denver and the only time they have been in the mountains was in 6th grade camp. Amazing yes but mostly I find it truly sad.
That people can hate each other because they look different, believe different or eat different.
