CURRENT MISSION

Got to keep on chooglin'

ABOUT ME

My mother said I should have been a farmer ... I love working the earth and enjoying the rewards that work produces ... plants that are pretty to look at, or smell, or eat; butterflies; the songs of birds. I'm content but not complacent. I hope to come out of the artist's closet soon.

PHILOSOPHY

If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly I host, since I usually travel to more rural areas where there aren't any hosts. I try to be the best host possible and give surfers a pleasant experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most of the people I've surfed or hosted, I've kept in touch with ... even tho' some of them are thousands of miles away. I've never had an experience that wasn't totally positive!
