CURRENT MISSION

Peace by piece

ABOUT ME
I work part-time, part of the year. Full-time adventuring.

Moving closer to where the foods I enjoy are produced seems a reasonable thing to do.

PHILOSOPHY

if you're stuck, I'm stuck

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To folks receptive to the idea of sharing themselves & their corner of the world (through this amazing CS project): an in-person, word-of-mouth campaign.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Any forum facilitating direct cultural exchange is on to something Good. Gratitude to the people "behind the curtain" who keep this thing running smoothly and at minimal expense.

Y'all are doing great with it! Keep doing what you're doing-- do more of it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Completed eight bicycle tours of at least 1,200 miles each throughout the United States and Ontario; traveled internationally more than 20,000 miles, via hitchhiking.

Turned a frown upside-down.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you:
learn to juggle (4 or fewer), read sheet music, play a nasty game of pool or racquetball, hula-hoop

I'd like to learn: crafts and trades, magic tricks

What I Can Share with Hosts

Happy to lend a hand around the house or more ambitious, labor intensive projects.
Or, just sit and swap tales from the Road.

Share a meal; share a drink; share a laugh.
