CURRENT MISSION

Have a good time, meet some people, make the world better

ABOUT ME

Older guy, young at heart, talkative, easy-going, mostly happy, live alone, dancing through life. Trying to figure out what to do when I grow up.

PHILOSOPHY

The sooner we make the first 5,000 mistakes, the sooner we improve. Things are the way they are because they got that way. It is better to understand than it is to be right.

If you read my references, you will see frequent mentions of tango. NOT TV or Stage tango. Social tango, as danced by people who seem to get addicted to it. Here's a sample youtube video:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am here because I like to meet new people, talk about anything, give support to people who are on adventures.

Mostly I host. I have a spare bedroom with a bed for two people, but also ample floor space for emergencies. Sheets and towels if you need them. Use of the kitchen. Washer and dryer. Sit around the living room, etc etc etc.

I prefer two to five days. Can't do more than five, will do one nighters if you have a good story 8-)

I live in Portland Oregon just north of Mt Tabor park. Google it. Very close by access to bus route 15, 19, and 20, which then connects to everything else.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lots of people have stayed with me, and I have enjoyed every minute. So have they, I think. Some want to hang out, some go off in the morning and come back late at night. I'm good either way.

I have only tried surfing a few times. Sometimes it has worked, and sometimes not. No bad experiences, though.
