CURRENT MISSION

to live into the concept of working less and living more

ABOUT ME

Lingering a moment here and now, to you I opposite turn,
As on the road or at some crevice door by chance, or open'd window,
Pausing, inclining, baring my head, you specially I greet,
To draw and clinch your soul for once inseparably with mine,
Then travel travel on.
--Walt Whitman

PHILOSOPHY

Toward the ability to learn from history. Toward conservation of resources. Toward equality. Toward joy and fulfillment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host some and surf less. I am an evangelist for CS & spread the good news when/where ever I can!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been privileged to stay with families while traveling and working. This helped to open my eyes to how much we are all the same--not different.
Through couchsurfing, I've hosted a good amount and surfed much less, but look forward to more--

Interests
