CURRENT MISSION

¡¡To Live a Good life & help others along the way!!

ABOUT ME

(UPDATE: it's not just me anymore: I got married and have moved into her muuuch nicer place now! My wife Christi is a social worker and while she has been helping people her whole life in amazing ways, she's never couch surfed or hosted....she's open to the idea now, so I'm finally able to switch my status back to Accepting Guests!!)

By 21 I had visited all 50 of the United States- now I've performed as a musician in all 50 states plus 7 other countries.
¡¡¡What a blessing!!! Living through Music- man, it's like a dream. It's tough, but it's sweet poetry!!

I'm pretty low keyed. Don't need much that's fancy. Rather go out for a walk than hit the clubs. Don't drink, smoke or use drugs- disheartening to find that some folks don't understand how to enjoy Life without these things. How about an actual coversation? Ain't that something beatiful!?!?

It's hard for me to get into travel just for travel's-sake anymore- now it's learning or meeting interesting people that makes a trip satisfying to me now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

For years I travelled in a 1970 VW Bus (leopard print inside & out) and a 1970 VW Bug (painted w/Peace signs and flowers) then I painted my Geo Metro like a giant roller-skate....you break down a lot doing these things and needs lots of favors and places to stay.
I've also picked up and housed my share of hitchhikers and Volkswagen owners.

Interests

Music (obviously), Learning and Passion- even if I don't understand or even agree with them, a person with passion is often worth experiencing more of.
