CURRENT MISSION

Life is a daring adventure or nothing.

ABOUT ME

Left a communal soul-building experiment of "partage total" in Belgium for a five-year brain-building exercise in Nashville, TN. Trying to understand how communities manage resources in a way that respects people and nature and the future... it ain't easy. Also: into people that bike, damn good food, all of the intersecting musical styles that make Nashville crazy, the Appalachians, and dreaming up ways to spend long summer vacations.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a daring adventure or nothing.

What we have, we share.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf, people can surf with me, and we can all share how we live, what we believe, and who we are...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is such a brilliant idea b/c you are able to see cities around the world through the eyes of locals...you get to learn about how people live. This is way more valuable to me than seeing museums, monuments, etc...though these things are always great too.

Interests

I love wine, good beer, and good food, preferably mixed with good people.

I'm into modern art, conversation, wild parties, hiking, train rides, and language. But then again, who isn't?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sat on the top of a mountain in southern India with a Hindu guru who has spent his entire life there praying and meditating.

That and the conversations I've had with random people along the way...

Teach, Learn, Share

I think most of the people on this site already have a lot of things figured out. Live hard, travel often, stay rooted to the things that matter most...
