Greeting Most Hospitable Friends,

I'm a vessel of poetry, practitioner in several schools of thought ( Gnostic, sufism, buddhism, zen). Up to this period of my life I've spent a great deal reexamining my inward self. I took the leap forward to finally move from my hometown of Kansas a year ago. Having done so only increased my need to travel abroad and abouts.

I hope you find me your brother and friend. I hope we can exchange stories, read poetry, take a walk or cook! Above all i'm a very quiet person preferable, but am not hard to talk to :)

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

For shared experiences, personal research, learning, and opening my heart to the Human Soul.

Interessen

I read at least a book of poetry and or a novel; when the novel's done I usually take on a work of nonfiction. I recently started to doodle which, now, has become an obsession. I find it helps me breathe as much as one would experience through a internal meditation, rather than a self interactive one. I like to take walk ( cliche included). Being in my city long enough, the only thing I can do to keep the wonder going is take walks. I also take day trips seriously. There's just too much to pass up! If you're wondering Kansas does have some beautiful countrysides, mmhmm.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

It wouldn't be a life if I had just one. I suppose cliff jumping in Arizona, exploring the Ozarks in Autumn, climbing a small mountain in New Mexico while being barefoot.... jumping off a bridge without clothes ( no, I wasn't under any influence).

Lehren, lernen, teilen

It's hard to say anything under these three categories. Nothing is set; you do these things as you go along.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

Well of course poetry.... I'll usually have plenty on me haha. Stories, smiles and complete openness. If you want to cook I can help! I'm a semi ok cook; I can provide the money and food for such a occasion.
