CURRENT MISSION

to "change the world in me" ...

ABOUT ME

Writer, teacher, radical, spiritual seeker, returning to US after 15 years to fight the good fight

Since 1992, have lived in Czech Republic, Scotland, and Australia.

Currently back in Oz, packing up to head to New Zealand.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe, kind of like the Quakers (Society of Friends) that we are here to discover our purpose and, once having discovered it, to achieve it.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have now surfed in England and Seattle, Washington and am a BIG fan. Have couch (even bed!) in Brisbane, Australia.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, pretty brilliant! Most people I've met I stay in touch with through email--have found it to be a community of kindred spirits. The Seattle folks in particular were progressive, generous and super hospitable.

Interesting information about horses :-/
