I'm a pan-sexual, polyamorous, pagan, nudist aging hippie boy scout, orthodox eclectic omnivore, and Bodhisattva in training. I'm on an extended solo road trip.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people through both hosting and traveling. I've moved on from my domicile and am experimenting with a living on the road lifestyle. My intentions for this trip are play & no hurry or deadlines.

Interests

I love growth and learning. I love books, ideas, discussions, stories. I am very interested in technology, both high and low. I love to innovate. I am interested in relationship. I insist that I am related to all, including you.

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer music whose style has no name.
I see very few movies, not sure I really understand the medium, or perhaps am simply too critical.
Some of my favorite authors are Robertson Davies, Patrick O'Brian, Michael Pollan, Fritjof Capra, Akhil Reed Amar, Timothy Snyder (just to name an eclectic few).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've lived in a tipi in the woods from 2004 until 2015. From 2015 until 2026 i lived in a (very) rustic cottage at a former commune in the woods near Berea, KY.

Teach, Learn, Share

Recently I've given workshops on saw sharpening and building rocket stoves. I have a wood splitting workshop in the works. I enjoy (to put it mildly) passing on hard-won technical knowhow to those who intend to use it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories are really all any of us have.
