CURRENT MISSION

Just doin what I do, enjoying life and the folks around me.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Central Illinois, and went to university there. I've since done a fair bit of traveling and meandering about. I came out to Fort Collins to visit a friend two springs ago and never quite left. I've been doing Conservation (trail work)for a few years now and love having the parks and open spaces as my office. I enjoy backpacking, zen, reading, exercise, beer, cooking, and sometimes making little works of art.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is fun, lets do it again sometime...

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had the opportunity to host several folks passing through Fort Collins when I had my apartment there. It was a cool experience. Always wished I'd had more time to hang.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with a guy named Scott in Hawaii for a day, good time.

音乐、电影和书籍

Books that come to mind; Catch 22, Zealot, Fahrenheit 451, The Harry Potter series. I've read a hand full of spiritual literature; Stephen Mitchell's translation of the Tao te Ching is a favorite. Thomas Byrom's Dhammapada. I love anything by Ram Dass, his writing has a clear, colorful energy to it. I like movies a lot. My current favorite film is Dead Man(1995). I love the Battlestar Galactica series from the 2000s. I like most music. I grew up on pop-country so I find it hard to hate on. heh. I like bluegrass a lot but, will listen to anything.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Hiked the Colorado Trail this most recent summer (2014), about 300 miles of the Arizona Trail (2013), and covered about 200 miles with a friend on the Appalachian Trail (2012). I have seen Sunrise over Lake Victoria, Zip-lined through the cloud forests of Mt. Verde, hiked and failed to hike mountains in Colorado, took a drive across country, learned to play some songs in northern Uganda, worked on a trail crew, made Kim-chee with some monks and nuns in South Korea, Ive also swam in some beautiful waters and had sand stuck in my ear for about 6 months. Most importantly, I've had the pleasure of meeting some very beautiful and amazing people.

教，学，和分享

I find good stories, experiences, failures to be the most influential, quality teaching tool.

I know lots of science stuff and love to get talkin about stars, the cosmos, and philosophy.

I plan on learning more Arabic.
