CURRENT MISSION Oneness. ABOUT ME What is this life, this mystery? And why do we suffer? Most of my adult life, I have asked myself these questions and continue to explore them though contemplative practice. The other question that dominates is how best to express my passions and aptitudes in a way that will reduce the suffering of living beings. I make attempts at this through ethical living and trying my best to act with mindfulness and compassion...often falling flat on my face in the process :) Ouch.

Warum ich auf Couchsurfing bin
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING To date, I have been blessed by the generosity of others while bike touring. During these times, I try to conduct myself with the utmost courtesy and cleanliness for my hosts. I have my own place in San Diego, but it's too small with my girlfriend, cat, and myself. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Did a 1200+ mile bicycle tour down the West Coast, from Portland, OR to Santa Barbara, CA in Summer 2011. During this time, we were hosted by several awesome people, ranging from empty-nesters to existentially questing 20-somethings. Did another 1200 mile bicycle tour in Winter 2017 from my new home in San Diego, CA to Los Cabos, Mexico. Was fed home-cooked meals, led on hikes around town, given rides in a dune buggy, and even a terry-cloth bathrobe to lavishly adorn myself with post-shower! All positive experiences!
Musik, Filme und Bücher
Lots of jazz, modal and avant-garde. Jazz-funk, afrobeat, and pure funk, as far as music is concerned. Coltrane, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Tortoise. Documentaries and dramas are my favorite film genres. Books, science fiction, Philip K Dick, Gibson, Heinlein, non-fictional works too, often related to neuroscience, philosophy, psychology.
