CURRENT MISSION

Live in a place for more than 4 months

ABOUT ME

For work I help organize the state of Colorado's early childhood services. In the spare hours I spend a great deal of time and money on outdoor hobbies: cycle touring, rock climbing, snow sliding. Radio is often on in my home. I have a dog named after the Dread Pirate Roberts, and am working on a garden.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm happy to be a host when I'm not on the road.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only a bit thus far -- hosting a few Florida travelers, and staying with gracious hosts on my bicycle tours.

Interests

Cities, non-cities, places that call themselves cities. The history of housing. Bikes of the self-powered variety. Music made by cowboys, pirates, and jazz crooners. Books that are more real than life. And traveling of course--to learn as much about my own world as others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skied steep snow in August (summer in the USA) in shorts.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to juggle, about fountain pens, odds and ends about the history of (certain) cities, bicycle mechanics.

I am interested in learning local history, architecture and social issues.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food. Humor. Beer or wine. Books.
