CURRENT MISSION

making old time music in Scotland & Ireland

ABOUT ME

I'm in Newton NC (in August) after many years in Boone NC, and when not running a biodiesel plant at the EcoComplex, working on a PhD at NCA&T in Energy and Environmental systems.
I am a musician and enjoy all types of music especially toe-tapping old-time fiddle music. I enjoy traveling and have traveled quite a bit in Latin America after serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Paraguay. I speak Spanish, Guarani, and Portuguese.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life, a blessing itself. Be good to your mother and mother earth. Kindness is contagious.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to link up to travelers & locals of similar interests to play music, enjoy a yerba mate, or just hang out.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None to date. Excited at the prospects of meeting like minded people. I've done a fair amount of traveling myself and think CS is a great resource.
