About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Fighting the good fight, or at least keepin' the faith!

ABOUT ME

Considering moving to Puerto Rico while I work on my Masters in Adult Ed. Always wanted to live someplace where the majority of folks at least looked liked me, while still staying in the U.S.

PHILOSOPHY

"The cost of a thing is the amount of what I call Life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run."
--- Henry David Thoreau

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By giving back to my community, where ever i might be at the moment: whether it's putting a dollar -- or a dime -- in a homeless person's cup, helping someone study for the G.E.D., or just offering a shoulder to lean on for a bit.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Moved out to California about 15 years ago. All's i had was $500, my car, and a place to stay for two weeks. Ended up sleeping on a friend's couch for the first couple of months.
