CURRENT MISSION

To explore, to experience, to laugh, to learn, to love life to the fullest extent

ABOUT ME

I spent the last two years of my life living a wonderful adventure on an experiment in sustenance. We milked our own goats, raised our own poultry and pigs, grew our own food and made our own wine. We had a Pig named Starfish, a goat named Moth, a cat named Turtle and a turtle named Taco. We watched the sunset every night and watched way too many documentaries and Star Trek.

As wonderful as it was, the journey was too hard and too short, and I'm now back in the real world on a quest to fill a giant piggy bank labeled "traveling".

I'm whacky, silly, curious, adventurous, I hate TV but I love great movies. I'd be a writer or an anthropologist if I didn't fall so in love with nature. I like any kind of music that shows that the members are musicians rather than media figures. I like to spend my spare time walking around, exploring, and meeting random people just to hear their stories and opinions. I like taking naps in parks, looking for four leaf clovers and people watching. I love life and I'm almost always smiling.

PHILOSOPHY

"This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy." - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

"Be the change you wish to see in the world." - Ghandi

"Only when the power of love overcomes the love of power will the world see peace" - Jimmy Hendrix

"Sometimes we live in no particular way but our own." - Grateful Dead

"When God gives you lemons, you FIND A NEW GOD."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently just trying to find my way around the world, but as soon as I find a more permanent place, I plan to host as often as possible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sunset halfway up a mountain at Pheiffer National Park in Big Sur, CA. The 4 mile climb was totally worth it.
