ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

"This is what you shall do, love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body." -Walt Whitman

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to play host to visitors to Boulder to meet new people. I'm also interested in using CouchSurfing when I travel.

I've hosted a few people but haven't surfed yet, mostly because I tend to camp when I travel.
