If I were a vegetable
I'd be a radish, because
I'm only kind of rad.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I'm looking for the basement of the Alamo.

I love this this site because I have seen first-hand how rewarding life can be when people make themselves available. I am fortunate to have met so many beautiful people, and shared so many wonderful experiences with them.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Love.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

This is pretty much what I am all about. I spend a lot of my time soaking up random, juicy bits of information. While you are here we could brew some beer together or play some bluegrass. We could slackline, or we could hike around, or go for a bike ride. Maybe it is Wednesday and we are heading to Music in the Park. I have even recently started climbing, so let me know if you wanna go bouldering in the canyon!!!

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

If you know that "I" (in the sense of the persona, the front, or what we call the ego) really doesn't exist, it won't go to your head too badly if you wake up and discover that you're God.
