About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I like to learn new things. Love listening to people tell their tall tales and outrageous stories and high adventures.

ABOUT ME

I traveled quite a bit when I was young, then stuck around to earn a living while raising my family, and now I'm ready to start looking around again, but I have responsiblities here. One of my favorites is as a Board Member of the Seattle Metaphysical Library, where we talk about new physics, quantum mind, ancient societies, etc.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to do my best, and carry my own map.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a member of this project.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Did a lot of hitch-hiking when I was young, and traveled a lot as part of a fascinating shamanic group when I was older. In both of those experiences, couches and floors were the norm. It's only in the past two decades that room registration has entered my traveling plans.

Interests

Graham Hancock and others talk about an ancient, world-wide, high civilization that spanned the globe, and that certain families and groups still have knowledge handed down from that. I love to learn new stuff. Not too much interested in corporate distractions and Death Machine politics.

Music, Movies, and Books

Right now, I'm trying to find books, interviews and videos by people who have a sense of what's happening to the worlds' economies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Rolling Stones playing at a high school gymnasium in Austria, taunting the crowd about the police being there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a moderately useful lore of edible weeds in the Seattle area, and a good collection of 911 it-was-done-by-insider videos. I've been studying the outsourcing issue for fifteen years, and it doesn't look good into the future.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always willing to help out, and I'm a good natural foods cook. I'm also very good at using advanced features of Microsoft Office products (Word, Excel, Access, Outlook) and can teach almost anyone tricks they may not have known about.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Canada, Croatia, England, Germany, Greece, Montenegro, Netherlands, Peru

Countries I’ve Lived In

United States
