CURRENT MISSION
I travel to enjoy different cultures and languages and see for myself how we live on this planet. I sing and play old American folk songs on my guitar. I ride my bike everywhere.
I try to give my hosts something of myself, through life coaching, sharpening up their English, or even weeding their patio. I do my best to help out when I stay with people. I've lived outside the box all my life, listening to that still small inner voice. I have a wealth of life experience to share and I like to do that, see myself now as an elder helping out the younger generation(s). I'm flexible, and find the piece of myself that hosts might appreciate--it's fun matching parts of me to them!

PHILOSOPHY

Laugh, listen, be real.
