CURRENT MISSION

Join the world community, maybe take a small peek outside the little box I live in...

ABOUT ME

I am volunteering in Ollantaytambo, Peru for 6 months then riding my Suzuki dr650 home to Michigan from Dec 2011-March 2012.

I am working with the Sacred Valley Project, a dorm dedicated to providing a high school education to indigenous girls from the highlands. Check it out. http://sacredvalleyproject.org/

Usually I am a high school math teacher.

PHILOSOPHY

I am a fragment of a mirror whose whole shape and design I do not know. But with what I have been given I can reflect light into the world, into the dark places where light would otherwise not shine. Perhaps others will see and do likewise.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Morocco with some friends we met and stayed with two brothers. It was one of the most important few days of my life. They were great, we shared much, and it changed my world view.
