CURRENT MISSION

To slow down a bit

ABOUT ME

I love the outdoors, gardening, writing, walking, running; poetry and people (in small doses), laughter and food (in large doses); the mountains, the wind, and all the peculiarity and paradox that make us human.

PHILOSOPHY

If I tell you now I'll ruin a good conversation later... For a brief description see the poem above.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One day when I have a couch of my own, I would like to host anyone in need. Right now, I'm traveling and broke and the extent of my participation involves being grateful for the generosity of others.

Interests

We must become ignorant
of what we've been taught,
and be, instead, bewildered
Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough, from now on, I’ll be mad. -rumi
