About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

we're all here to desipher the global converstaion god is having with herself. I participate by paying attention, speaking what i believe to be true and listening in a relaxed and open manner.

I hope to find ways to make the world better where i am, from washing dishes to fixing broken electronic things (most problems are extremly simple) to stepping up to the dynamic childlike moment from which true recuperation can occur.

The larger project, the dream, involves helping to diffuse the burning laser of scientific inquiry and instead establish within our society a gentle and effortless gaze towards the true workings of nature: permaculture, harmonius building practices, appropriate technology and mind body unification (aikido, contact improv, feldenkrais, authentic movement, alexander, etc.)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've let some kooky folks sleep at my house. Looks like the internet is taking some of the uncertainty out of sharing what we have.

Mostly when i travle i sleep on the out skirts of town, which isn't a very socially active process. I am wanting now to make my self avaialble and engage what is happening socially along my journey.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Something is amazing alright, but i didn't do it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I take every opportunity to learn. Every project just beyond my reach pulls me, which isn't always good. More so than to travle, I hope to see what i can add to the physical environment i find myself in. I have lots of technical knowledge to share and utilize. Please see my
