CURRENT MISSION

there's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be, its easy.

ABOUT ME

dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light.

PHILOSOPHY

the Dalai Lama was once asked if it would be safe to say that compassion is a central premise of Buddhism.

his response was to say that compassion is the only premise of Buddhism.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will offer my number of homes in New York City and the area around it whenever I am home, and my homes elsewhere when I am settled abroad and not surfing myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

"Wandering re-establishes the original harmony which once existed between man and the universe."

in my life, i have told many people about couchsurfing.com but never actually used it. at least 3 of them have told me it changed their life, so i finally decided to set one up and see what happens, just today (March 19, 2013).

without using the website, i have probably couchsurfed close to 1/3 of my last 4 years, through friends and such.

Interests

if there one thing i have learned in my life, it is that there is practically nothing i don't want to learn about. except taxes. i don't want to learn about taxes.

Music, Movies, and Books

if we become friends or fellow travelers, you will begin to understand the depth of my knowledge, comprehension, and adoration of these three topics, but surely there is little that can be said in this space.

except for Led Zeppelin.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the last three times i was in London were to see the Olympics, Glastonbury (the world's largest music festival), and Pink Floyd's last performance ever.

Teach, Learn, Share

music is my religion. i play lots of guitar, and a little bit of most other instruments.
if there's a type of boarding (skate, snow, etc) I do it.

as said above, i'm interested in everything. i am a perennial learner with vast and diverse knowledge and experiences, and I am with couchsurfing on this one, that to learn and to teach is central to our shared compassion-filled future as people on this planet and beyond.

i am going to ask questions to learn, and i am going to answer questions honestly and fully to teach.
