CURRENT MISSION

Connect with people in meaningful ways.

ABOUT ME

Having two kids in school, I'm not as much of a globe-trotter as some of the folks on here but I still love having new experiences and meeting new people.

I'm also a "visual" artist but I'm much more interested in what happens between people than in precious objects. I'm really interested in all forms of participatory art and non-art.

PHILOSOPHY

Culture and tradition are shapeable. Let's make them well.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It hasn’t worked out to host yet but I have enjoyed staying with and meeting up with folks!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Limited but awesome. Thanks to my first few hosts that have me hooked.

Интересы

Art, games (especially party games but lots of board and other games too), playing sports (and occasionally watching), improv, music (my taste is wide but discerning, unless I'm dancing--then it's not as discerning :), writing and reading, micro-sociology, education.
