We're kind of boring, frankly: sometimes the highlight of our week is watching a thunderstorm over a nearby mesa. We can't discuss TV shows or celebs. But we have our solutions to all the world's major problems (in a shoebox in a closet for safekeeping), and we hope to learn yours.

PHILOSOPHY

Finding the balance between living each day to the fullest and planning for a future. Constantly retuning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Twice as surfers, but mostly as hosts. Hoping to shift the balance as time goes by.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Exhilarating and rewarding. We're surrounded by rich, vibrant fellow humans but we so seldom get to connect. CouchSurfing gives us a sip of those connections.

Interests

Hiking, yoga, cooking, rock climbing, crosswords. Board games. Reading. Programming (Linux/UNIX, Open Source). Sunrises. K9 SAR. Neuroscience. Morality. Compassion. Languages. Smiling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've learned from watching others. Sometimes, decades later, I've expressed my thanks to someone for a valuable moment... and they have no recollection of that moment. We're always teaching, we just don't always know it.

So I live that way. Every action can be a lesson to someone else... so I better make sure I set a good example.
