CURRENT MISSION

Never a 'grown up,' but always growing

ABOUT ME

Huh? I think Saroyan said it best: "Living is an art, it's not bookkeeping. It takes an awful lot of rehearsal for a man to get to be himself."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to this whole CS world, so I look forward to hosting some interesting folks then perhaps trying some surfing on for size when I set out on my next travels.

I'm a relative newbie, but promise to make plenty of deposits into the CS piggy bank. Here's some expereinces enjoyed so far:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While I've been blessed with a load of unique travel experiences, nothing can top the friendships I've made at home and abroad along the way.

Teach, Learn, Share

Darn, my fingers are getting tired! Can't we just figure this one out together?

OK, some ideas: If you can help with any Mac computer tricks, teach a bro how to surf, prepare a meal from your native land (or anywhere, for that matter), know your way around a camera, or have access to some cool tunes, that would definitely be a super start.
