Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I'm heading to Calgary for the winter and beyond. A new start.
ABOUT ME
Easy going. Non-drinker. Clean and neat.
Happy to share more, ask away.
PHILOSOPHY
Non dogmatic atheist. Kindness and truthfulness are qualities I value. The Sermon on the Mount, the poems of Hafiz and Rumi and music and art inspired by faith have all touched me.
I tend to disagree with Fundamentalists of any religious or political stripe.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Well anywhere I have stayed I like to leave the place a bit better than when I arrived. Either through providing good companionship or fixing something or contributing in some fashion.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Years outside the Couchsurfing community. Just starting here.
Interests
Well I'm older so I've had a few interests.
in no particular order: Reading, fiction and non-fiction, Dramatic film and TV. Hiking. SCUBA. Washin-Ryu Karate, Jeet Kune Do (years ago). Yoga (Astanga, Hatha) Meditation (Vipassana and other traditions). Travel. Sexuality. Burning Man (2007 and 2011). Politics and social justice. People.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've had two Satori experiences which were truly extra-ordinary.
Hiking in the crater of Haleakala was pretty amazing.
Teach, Learn, Share
I have some practical skills and like to fix things. On occasion I've been able to resolve conflict among others.
