Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm happy to help whenever, however I can. Dishes are always a good opportunity to help, but I love to cook and have experience with everything from auto repair to painting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing is wonderful, though I've been doing it the old fashioned way for years. I used to play in a touring band (guitar,bass) for years. We slept on endless couches, floors or wherever there was room as we traveled all over the US and Canada.

Outside: Cycling, camping, traveling, disk golf, any beach activity, bocce and pétanque.
Inside: Cooking, reading (beverage, Vonnegut, Palanhiuk, Gladwell), watching (Miyazaki, Futurama, Christopher Guest), and eating out with good people and good wine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Riding in the back of a truck turning through the streets of Haiti avoiding tire fires at 16 years old. Pretty much all of that experience.
-Exiting a tunnel in the Alps. The view was so incredibly powerful.
