Обо мне

CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of this planet as I possibly can...

ABOUT ME

I'm a 58 yr old male with an extraordinarily insatiable intellectual and cultural curiosity of world places, and a thirst to see it all with a gusto second to none. I'm still a kid at heart and a consummate traveller. I'm very easy going and laid back, trustworthy and easy to get along with, with a great sense of humor and a live-and-let-live libertarian spirit. I've always been free-spirited, hitchhiking the U.S. before I even graduated high school. I grew up in small-town Texas, but have lived in at least half the states since then. For 8 years, my now-late wife and I lived nomadically all over the U.S. working on miscellaneous political projects (we were featured on NPR in 1999), from Florida to Alaska, and Maine to California. Criscrossing North America, we hit all the states, and all but one Canadian province. I've been all the way from Panama to the Arctic Ocean and out to Hawaii, but to date, I've never crossed an ocean. I'm ready to take my travel to new heights and see other continents as I enter my 50s (which is the "new 20s"!). I'm looking forward to every minute of it! :-)

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a free-spirit with a magnanimous, live-and-let-live attitude towards everyone, and only wish governments would adopt that same outlook, and erase their borders - we're all kindred.

I'm a lifelong geography whiz and buff, fascinated with places and people and ways of life. I'm a consummate traveler, lived as a nomad for 20 years, 1991-2011. I only recently settled down into permanent housing; yet I want to make far-flung, worldwide trips, and return home.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to surf couches, host with my couch (or spare bed or mattress, whichever is more comfortable) and generally meet new people all over the world and in my own backyard. I'm new to Owensboro and haven't had a chance to bond with the community here. I'm very social and love having people to hang out with.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a complete novice to this site and this approach. Embarking on building a history, though.

Интересы

I'm open to ALL kinds of interests, even those I've never heard of before. I've always done the intellectual pursuits - such as reading, writing and chronicling. I love music but mostly country and soft rock from past decades. I do play around on the guitar. I love all the "sightseeing" and exploring parts of travel, and especially love doing things off the beaten path and in amongst the locals to get immersed in the culture. I've splashed around in paddleboats in Baltimore's Inner Harbor, canoed in the Nova Scotia Highlands with strains of bagpipes in the distance, panned for gold in the Arizona High Country, watched whales jumping in Alaska's Inside Passage, rode helicoptors over active volcanoes in Hawaii. and fed monkeys in the Costa Rican jungles. I particularly love doing things in and around scenic bodies of water.

Музыка, кино и книги

I love to drive down the road with my stereo blaring Jimmy Buffett or Merle Haggard or the Eagles or Marty Robbins or Alabama or John Denver. I'm a little bit open minded on music played around me of other genres, but rap or heavy metal just doesn't do it for me.

I'm open to ALL kinds of movies, but love comedies and documentaries about real-life events and people the most.

I prefer reading books on political and economic theory, with deeper philosophical undertones. Think Thoreau, Spooner, Rose Wilder Lane. But I'll read anything that keeps my interest, even fiction. But especially the classics in fiction.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Pitching camp for the night one September in remote Saskatchewan, Canada, I was able to witness the most impressive display of Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, with sheer curtains of light waving across the sky for minutes.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I'm a master of the English language with a remarkable vocabulary. I understand political and economic theory inside and out, after immersing myself in thinking deeply aobut it for 30 years.
