CURRENT MISSION

travel everywhere the opportunity arises

ABOUT ME

I've thought about operating a bed & breakfast - then i thought about letting people stay for free but i figured i would accept donations to cover costs. Now I'm open to anything. I've wanted to get some Japanese straw tatami mats so that instead of a B&B i could have a "Tatami & Tea" but i have yet to do that.

PHILOSOPHY

Most people are generally good.
It could have been worse.
Strangers are friends you haven't met yet.
Nature bats last!
