https://www.gigsalad.com/silly_uncle_bud_montreal
I just returned from teaching Permaculture and clowning in Honduras & Colombia. Heading North again
:::currently near Toronto:::
Loyal, fun, spontaneous
I finished my six year enlistment in the Air Force Summer of 2012 then I traveled the Eastern half of the U.S. for six months before transferring to Maharishi University of Management to study Sustainable Living. I dropped out to work on my current projects. I'm now perpetually traveling North America to promote The Hobo Railroad.
Got stuck in Canada for 6 years solid, studying sculpture at university, hosting Permaculture tours on Le Plateau, launching Purple People and building The Hobo Railroad 🛤️
PHILOSOPHY
Continual Pursuit of Knowledge;
Cultivate Strong Personal Relationships;

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I host when I can and promote CS via The Hobo Railroad 🛤️ and by way of potlucks / meetups.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
One night at Drew's place in Bradford, PA so I could visit the Zippo factory the next day while on my way to Cleveland. Definitely set the tone for my CS experience.
One night spent with Samm/Dave and her roomate in Wausau, WI only furthered my love of the couchsurfing culture!
I spent a day with Yue, a Chinese exchange student in Raleigh, NC. Discovering each others culture was simply a blast!
My most recent experience was reconnecting with an Air Force buddy of mine in his hometown of Martin, TN. I actually passed through there on two separate occasions over a three month period and he hosted me for about three days each time. One hell of a guy
