Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have built this museum and farm. There's not too many places I'd rather be, so I travel little.
But I do like to have people visit here. Come spend the night, or longer, anytime you wish. I have a very large comfortable house with many couches and beds, and a very nice cabin, ..for those who desire more privacy.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with a family in Berlin. They became great friends.
A group of friends and I, traveled across the US, to work with the United Farm Workers and Ceasar Chavez. We sang at various churches along the way, in exchange for a meal and a floor to sleep on. Wonderful!

Interests

History, antiques, appropriate non-electric "technology", organic gardening & farming, Ancient Traditional Wisdom of the Original People's of this land, Dowsing, Ceremony, animal rescue, telling a good story.

I am never without a book to read. Most any subject is good.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Prayed with the White Buffalo Calf Woman Pipe. Traveled to Iraq, before the war, to pray for peace.
Raised three fine Humans.
Learned how to be "invisible".

Teach, Learn, Share
