CURRENT MISSION

My format: Guardian. To mend and defend - to defend my new found friends, their hopes and dreams, and to defend them from their enemies.

ABOUT ME

I am an explorer of lands, people, concepts. I delight in life and it's experiences. Traveling shows us how transitory everything is and how we must savour the moment however it manifests.

In your home I am: Adaptable, Gracious, Respectful, Humble.

In my home I am: Accepting, Open, Interested.

PHILOSOPHY

To cease to learn is to cease to live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My cynical self is sure to say that Couchsurfing "restores my faith in humanity," but really what I've learned is that humanity and magnanimity have always been there and that we're conditioned by our "self-serve" culture to fear the stranger. I want to do my part in reawakening our compassion for each other.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Beyond this website, I've unofficially couchsurfed in many places and have been nothing but treated by my hosts. I feel most at home not in hotels nor even hostels, but when I'm in someone else's care and I've felt nothing but that when I've stayed on various couches across the land. The gift of hosting is perhaps even greater.
