CURRENT MISSION

Seeking "Aloha" in Hawaii!

ABOUT ME

Always exploring, learning, philosophizing, creating... My favorite part of traveling is meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

I guess I'm reaching the point in my life where "everything in moderation, except moderation" seems reasonable... Haha! It's true, though... And also: I aspire to make this world a little bit better than how I found it...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a newbie when it comes to couch-surfing... but I promise I will be a gracious guest in your home (and happy to help out in the kitchen)! And I look forward to returning the favor in the future...

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh... way too many to list! Music: All kinds of pop/rock/funky stuff... Books: Classic lit, George Orwell, Mark Twain, (satirists, humorists, etc.) Movies: Yes! Especially movies that inspire me to be a better human being.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've traveled all across the USA, Japan, Israel, Costa Rica, and Western Europe (and Turkey)... seen some truly amazing things (both good and bad). But now I'm starting to learn that even regular, ordinary life can be pretty amazing, with the right attitude. (Maybe that's my current mission: cultivating a steady state of "radical amazement"...)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to paint in acrylics, play guitar, write a decent essay, cook nutritious meals, practice yoga without getting hurt... and probably a few other things, as well! :)
