ABOUT ME

I take things one day at a time, mostly, that is. I have really found myself taking to heart the lessons of the present. Of course, people have their schedules and time frames and clock-watching tendencies, but for me, in the context of my life situation, I try my best to find balance and go with the flow of things. I can at times seem nonchalant, at others, totally stoked and energized for the next adventure. I love to travel and meet people and hear about their lives and offer comparisons with my own.

PHILOSOPHY

incremental improvements, be genuine, kind, and curious

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to participate by spreading good vibes and ideas that link people and places more closely and in ways unbeknownst to broader and more centralized architectures of power.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have surfed couches in California, and have had a handful of surfers in Seattle - also met some amazing people in Greece through CS! I live in a tiny studio these days with not much room for more than one person.

Interests

Life, health, well-being, people, friends, family, nature, the planet; specific activities include traveling, rock climbing, hiking, skateboarding, board games, chess, playing with chance, sipping delicious micro-brews, good cheap wine, exchanging stories and learning from others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being at the corner of Robson and Granville streets in Vancouver, B.C. after Canada won the gold medal in hockey... I have never seen so many people wearing red, screaming, whistling, waving flags, everyone giving everyone hi-fives, everyone smiling... it was sheer ecstatic chaos.

Teach, Learn, Share

Would have to think about this one... maybe something pertaining to human geography or basic climbing principles
