About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Share the joy of life with all the wonderful folks on this beautiful planet.

ABOUT ME

I'm an active outdoor lover, when I'm not in the swimming pool or in the dance hall. I love to travel especially to snorkeling destinations, and love learning languages, and latin dancing. I love non-conformist open minded people, and love to talk about world social issues. I also love costume parties, especially Halloween and Burning Man.

PHILOSOPHY

I am a believer in promoting peace and understanding, and am always working to understand people who I have differences with. Conflict resolution skills are an essential life skill that we can develop every day in all relationships.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
