CURRENT MISSION My current mission is to Drive a 72 Subaru Station Wagon from Seattle to Florida in about 5-7 days. Assuming that the car will actually make, I'll be spending my life savings on gasoline and oil, so I need happy-type folk to put me up along the way ABOUT ME Well, I'm the quintessential wayward traveler. I've lived in 10 places in 10 years, and do not intend to stop any time soon. My next adventure has me traveling cross-country from Seattle to St. Petersburg, FL in a '72 Subaru Wagon that I purchased from a gypsy for $300... I'm tall and idealistic. I claim any sort of quiet, natural setting as my homeland, and want to meet peaceful, easy people who like to help peaceful, easy people... PHILOSOPHY Lend yourself to others, but give yourself to yourself. Give more, expect less. That sort of thing... Pragmatism, inspite of my lofty visions for humanity

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING This will be my first go, but if the experience is a pleasant one, I will naturally become more involved with this funky project! COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE One of my roommates had some couch surfers stay with us for a week, and it was fantastic! Best folks I ever did meet...
Music, Movies, and Books
Vonnegut, Hesse, and Nabakov are top three literay influences... Movies are: Kubrick and Cohen Bros. films, I'm Not There, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Boogie Nights, The Bear, that sort of thing... I really like the nostalgia involved in watching movies from all eras, like old Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn flicks
My Interests
Camping, reading, learning, relaxing, forging new bonds and friendships, ever expanding horizons, singing in the shower, etc...
