About Me

CURRENT MISSION

System Reboot

ABOUT ME

I am an acorn rolling down a hill...I just like to go where things take me. I hope to not just see the world but to live in it...to really roll around in it and get it under my finger nails. I'm a fun person, pretty easy going...but I can be focused when the passion strikes me. I love life, the people in it, and and every breath we take. Sometimes I'm goofy, other times wild, but I'm mostly chill...and it would seem today, philosophic.

PHILOSOPHY

Love everyday, everyone and everything!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am eager to host! To show off my city, to learn about the travelers who come my way, and hopefully exchange a little wisdom in the process. Further more, I'm hoping to get more engaged with some CS groups.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One night in Viterbo, IT...though I've hopped from house to house quite a bit since 2003...and stayed there for year or so each...I promise I won't stay with you all that long though!

Interests

Simply put...I'm interested in everything! Especially if I don't know about it...which makes it tough to say what I'm interested in.
