I'm an armchair philosopher who believes that collecting experiences leads to wisdom. I'm on a mission to experience as much as I can. I enjoy a good conversation and since I grew up in a family that didn't talk about sex, politics, religion or money I like to talk about sex, politics, religion, and money. :-) I believe having discussions like that "advances the dialogue" and leads to increased understanding...moving our thinking forward. I don't take differences of opinion personally, I'm all about individual rights.

I'm married and have 3 dogs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I haven't yet...I'm interested in finding new and interesting ways of meeting new and interesting people. I believe there are more trustworthy people in this world, but all we ever seem to do is react to the shitty people.

Cheaper ways to travel...see more places. I have a Honda Element I can sleep out of too if you only have a driveway to lend.

Interests

Right now, my wife and I are starting a restaurant so that's taking a lot of our time as are our 3 dogs. :-)
