About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To wake every morning with the awe of just being alive

ABOUT ME

Great Scots Poet Robbie Burns wrote 250 years ago "would that God, the gift to give us to see ourselves as others see us". Without that gift I am a bit lost here.
I know how I'd like to be described but is that truth or make believe?
My profile pic shows the head of me. Under that there is a slim fit tall body and size 11 feet planted on the ground (mainly). A first bass voice likes to sing and talk alot.
I am specially blessed with the gift of curiosity.

PHILOSOPHY

To be or not to be, that is the question.
My answer is definite, BEEEEE!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm just a newbie, a NEWAPPLE. I like to host wwoofers on my farm and they recently told me about CS. I love the profiles of the people who love CS ing. I very much look forward to hosting great CS ers and being hosted in return on occasion.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only hosted so far

Interests

A bee is totally interested in the flower it is visiting but visits many different flowers in its lifetime. I'm a bit like that. Totally Interested in the people, places and things that are in front of me in the moment and afterwards, in researching and learning about how things, people and communities work. I have to work hard against my tendancy to be a diletente. I am passionate about the land, about music, about education community and artefacts derived from human ingenuity that always inspire me.
