关于我
ABOUT ME
My friends sometimes look at the way I go about things and comment that it's the most unconventional way they could imagine - and they'd secretly wonder whether I was crazy, clever, or just plain lucky to get it to work out. And right they are on all counts.
我为什么加入 Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
My family would host international travelers long before CouchSurfing (or the internet) was around and I thought that was pretty cool. I've been going to the local meetups here in Boulder and as soon as the dust settles from construction at my house I will have a room open (or even a tent site in the back yard)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
One of the coolest places I've surfed is at an acrobatic training facility in Kuranda, Australia. More recently I was closer to home in Grand Junction, CO.
兴趣
I have an insatiable appetite for figuring out how things work, whether it's from a technological, psychological, or social perspective.
- dogs
- music
- hiking
- sailing
- philosophy
- biking
- climbing
音乐、电影和书籍
Phew, where to even start on music? - just a random sampling of today includes: John Hiatt, Kimya Dawson, Jeffrey Lewis, Violent Femmes, Banshee Tree (check them out in CO!), Beau Soleil, Louis Prima, Zac Brown, Frank Sinatra, SRV
In the book realm, I always have 3 or 4 reads going, anywhere from personal growth to business to exposes to humor - a mix of recents and favorites are: You Are a Badass, How to Change Your Mind, Life of Pi, Sacred Economics, The Biggest Tongue in Tunisia, Journey to the Center of the Earth
I'll confess I get to the theater a good 1 or 2 times a year. I dig some of the independent film fests on occasion along with some documentaries. Also, some classics like Life Is Beautiful, Big Lebowski, Fletch
我做过的一件不可思议的事情
Along with the rest of the crew of an Antarctic research ship, I was one of the first people to ever sail into a newly-formed bay after the breakup of a massive section of ice shelf - in flat-calm, crystal-clear waters and under a bluebird sky no less (that almost NEVER happens).
I inadvertently started a raucous, barking, yelping flash-mob of 100+ feral (but all super nice...and smart) dogs in a park at the southern tip of Chile just by patting a solitary sleeping dog on the head.
My friend and I survived a harrowing ride on the railroad track to San Cipriano, Colombia at death defying speeds through torrential rain on a wooden pallet mounted on roller skates and powered by a moped...only to face another equally rickety contraption headed at us the opposite way on the same track.
教,学,和分享
I'm an undercover geek and can tell you some things about climate and oceanography research plus how to build or take apart just about anything
Always wanting to learn more about music - either playing or catching a show
Down to join for exploring parts of your town (or mine) that either you know well or haven't gotten around to yet
我可以与沙发主分享些什么
Being involved in and connected with people in so many different fields (through work, hobbies, travel), I can relate to a huge variety of folks on a great many subjects. My innovative and integrative mindset gives me a yen for coming up with novel, creative solutions, products, approaches to everything from marketing, to software, to construction, to sustainability, to music. Let's put our minds to something interesting!
