ABOUT ME

Long back from Bike4Peace 2010, moved to Bishop CA late 2015.

PHILOSOPHY

I am at search but would love to just have the whole world settle down to one big potluck, instead of this mess. Want all to be able to love those that they do without harm or repercussion and with acceptance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A wee bit. met Derek Wallace in the Bay Area in the summer of 2008. Hosted bicyclists via Warm Showers. Had a couple host me in WA state in 2012. There are many ways to surf and host.
