CURRENT MISSION Avid long distance hiker pursuing the Golden Mean. ABOUT ME Eclectic, musical, artistic, philosophical, wry, conversationalist, athletic, adventurous, outdoorsman, do-it-yourselfer, civic-minded, writer, cook, friend to children and animals. PHILOSOPHY "Live simply that others may simply live. Waste not want not. Use it up, wear it out, make do, do without. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Small is beautiful. Less is more.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Incessant volunteer. Connected and involved in the local community. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Unofficial couchsurfer for a generation, but never before through this site. Also have hosted numerous guests in my little beautiful corner of the world.
Musique, films et livres
Broad-ranging tastes in music: jazz, world, old-timey, bluegrass, more. I've played in an African drum group and in Celtic jams. Regular subscriber to "The Atlantic Monthly" and "Harper's." Too active to be a truly voracious reader, but do have my moments.
Une chose incroyable que j'ai faite
I've hiked over 5,000 miles throughout the US and Canada, including a "thru-hike" of the Appalachian Trail in 2000, and an 800 mile solo trek through the Canadian Rockies in 2008.
Mes centres d'intérêt
I've been all over the map in terms of occupation, domestic living arrangements, hobbies, civic engagement. Have always loved to travel, but until now other obligations and interests have come first.
