"Ride while your horse is strong."
Mongolian Proverb

I'm friendly, always curious, and a true believer in the "keep it simple" philosophy of life.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

No mystery...Couchsurfers tend to be people who think outside the box, and that's what I look for in life...if you are unconventional, non-conformist, an iconoclast, or a vagabond at heart, we are already friends.

Intereses

...abandoned buildings, small towns, newspapers, road trips, trains, orchards, permaculture, horses, books and films that make you think, music that makes you feel, simple living, quantum mechanics, mountains, anthropology, the ocean, the sun, the moon and the stars, Tao, sustainability, local economies, fractals, open roads, small living spaces, rural life, tai chi, history, libraries, cooking, serendipity, intuition, irrational numbers, wandering and learning forever...

Música, películas y libros

I believe in the politics of "small," and in personal liberty and responsibility...too many global institutions, organizations and Governments feed a monolithic, consumer-based culture and value system that destroys the "human" in humanity. I really do believe less is usually more, and variety is the spice of life. So I support art, ideas, and concepts created and developed by groups and individuals that tell smaller stories, that break old and new ground, that explore the road less traveled...no Hollywood Blockbusters or pulp fiction for me :)

I like non-fiction including history, anthropology, linguistics, comparative religion, economics and philosophy...Lao Tsu, Jung, Mumford, Tolstoy, William Blake...Libraries are secular temples!

Art and music...classical, folk, electronic, jazz, blues...and Pollock too.

Algo increíble que he hecho

mortification rituals by animist shaman in Taiwan...wildcat gold mining in 300+ foot hand-dug tunnels and mineshafts in Costa Rica...crossing the South Pacific on a freighter...more than one, I know...

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Financial Independence...In person or remotely, I can offer motivation, guidance, and advice on simple but powerful tactics and strategies for saving and basic financial planning. This is a difficult area for many people, for a variety of reasons, but it's an important step in truly setting yourself free. I've helped others develop simple plans to build financially independent lives, and perhaps I can help you too...you can live the life you want, on your own terms.
And if you've already escaped the work and consumption hamster-wheel existence you're way ahead of the game.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

An inquisitive mind, an iconoclastic point-of-view and, most of the time anyway, a good sense of humor 😆...and I can cook a dish or two...limited, short order type-of-menu, but tasty 😉
