CURRENT MISSION

Have fun, that is, the very fulfilling kind that stick with you

ABOUT ME

Right now, my most pressing issues include cooking vegetarian meals my family will eat (the opportunity is becoming rare)...and figuring out the rest of my life. I'm also a-traveling in the UK and hopefully Lisbon for next fall's semester.

PHILOSOPHY

I'd rather not work in the food service industry, unless it involves planting something in the ground with other well-treated people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll show you around town, but there's little to see on the surface of the increasingly comercialized area. The mountains and beaches a few hours away are much more exciting. I look forward to meeting people elsewhere who know what they're doing, where to go, what to see.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not much yet, but hoping to change that.

Interests

Mostly seeing places and doing things; the cheaper and more helpful for your brain and soul, the better. I'll try most anything I can, but in the end, I try to avoid feeling that I'm wasting time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Enormous jade sculptures in a basement in Arkansas. A homemade banjo.

Teach, Learn, Share

I dream of one day building a woodland library, deep in the wilds.
