Making my way through the world, and trying to do so with as little interference from mean people and bad systems as possible. I like the compamny of sane people who don't care to control or hurt others. I love art and creating things of beauty and other value. Human rights is something I've always been involved with and worked to promote or ensure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm seeing about a girl, actually, and kind of still waiting for her to figure things out. Meanwhile, I might need a couch or two to surf on when I visit her...

Interests

Railing against powers-that-be; reading - less than I'd prefer; film; and women who practice circus arts, specially trampoline and flying trapeze.

Music, Movies, and Books

Many and varied, many and varied... I grew up with fine and performing arts, including painting, literature, music, and film.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I survived! I've been on my own from 15, been beyond poor, survived New York City in the seventies, been through three war zones and numerous firefights while working for human rights, and graduated a pretty good university, where and because of which I've met some wonderful people, including a circus lady. Amazing...

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmmm... that's life, isn't it? Well, not for many, I suppose. I teach, I share, and I certainly learn, and all by nature and choice. Learning is important, vital even: One mistake shouldn't define a person's life or relationship, not when innocent and less than awful. So I live and learn and love and wish and hope the best.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Kindness, positive outlook, a story or two - a little bit of life.
