I think there is a lot I dont see but others do, so this is a hard question for me. I think if you read the rest of my profile you will get the picture.
BAsic Facts, I grew up in New York City, Oxford UK. and Princeton NJ. Them move to Southern California, Oakland CA, And now Albuquerque, New Mexico for the last 20 years. Perhaps because my family moved around so much when I was young, I have decided to stay where I am mostly. I have not travelled outside the USA for 10 years and the last time was central Mexico. I am ready to visit Mexico again! I am ready to meet, talk, and explore with new eyes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would rather sleep outside in a forest than stay in a hotel. If I am in a foreign place I need to know what it is like to actually live and see through eyes of those who live locally, and befriend them. I have found that the couch surfing with like-minded people makes this more possible.

Interests

I work as a Designer and maker of silver jewelry, and am always thing about and making artwork. I have included some examples in my profile pictures.
I also play drums and sing in a power-pop Trio.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living though the 1989 San Francisco earthquake and realizing that our lives are a lot more precarious than we often take them to be.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Perspectives, Wide ranging conversation. If you play music and have a drum set or sing we can play. If you want to accompany me on a local adventure you are invited. If you need me to run out to buy milk I am happy to. I try to live by common precepts of decency: not to harm, not to use hurtful language, to serve others and smile. To be as open as i can. To seek the good in others. Dream and stay grounded.
