CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to find a place to live near Asheville, in the mountains, and be on the road in the US for most of 2014.

ABOUT ME

Adventurous, overworked, creative, tend to tell stories.

PHILOSOPHY

Be who you are nothing more nothing less.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In the past, I have hosted. Now, I'm going to do both (surf & host)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only couch surfed in the past with people I have known or whom I were referred to. It is one of the best ways to stay in and get to know a new place.

Interests

I love to write, I love to backpack long distances and climb mountains, I love to travel alone or with my family, I love to make music, and I love inspiring people.

• traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

Tom Robbins, Thoreau, Robert Pursig, Don Miguel Ruiz and so many more...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have done is raise my daughter (currently 9). All other mountains climbed are insignificant compared to the experience and joy she brings me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Time may be the ultimate illusion… but in the final analysis it’s all that we truly have. Consider that without it there literally is nothing else, not within our perceivable, physical realm. And with it, seemingly all possibilities exist.

The viewpoint I like is this – TIME IS A RIVER and rather than “managing” it we ought to CHANNEL it. We ought to direct it toward our ambitions, interests and endeavors. We should not fight it, feel stressed by it or resist it. We should welcome its force with non-resistance. Recognizing that time is most powerful – well, over time, we should embrace its longevity and strength by employing persistence and patience.
