CURRENT MISSION My intention is to expand the horizons of my own perspective, by sharing moments with others, so that we might better understand ourselves and this fantastic planet. ABOUT ME I am a well meaning human, I find a substantial amount of joy in family, food, friends, music and travel. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area on the west coast, subsequently I was subject to a wonderful spectrum of multi-cultural metropolitan artistic funky nonsense. I like sharing similarities as well as differences and care to create experiences, from which I can learn. Now if you add a pinch of bicycle and a dash of guitar you might have the basic out line.
Interested in Dining out

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING well .... I couldn't say that I'm the best in terms of checking CS, though I do make a considerable effort, Its all relative and I'm just not the most computer prone person. For me I'd say I come in to play via word of mouth. CS is wonderful resource that I love to share with appropriate people. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I hitch-hiked across the US and had absolutely amazing experiences. Truthfully, it isn't as though I surfed a couch in every town, however to have a 3000 mile journey, even partially facilitated by perfect strangers, is utterly inspiring. As to avoid needles ranting, I'll provide a brief summation of just seven words. warm, welcoming, informative, willing, music, food and laughter. When I think of the people I met on Couchsurf, these are the words that come to mind.
Music, Movies, and Books
A dorky book I love! "A ShortHistory of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson. Recent reads I enjoyed "House Keeping" by Marilynne Robinson. "A Field Guide to Getting Lost" Rebecca Solnit.
One Amazing Thing I've Done

My Interests
Aside from the basic interests like food, water, family, friends, good humor, music exetra.... I've always been thrilled by this planet! This space we all inhabit is among our most profound of commonalities. "We" as a species all share this earth. I feel that, if and when we have the good fortune, to take a look around, even if just for a moment, to get to know new spaces places and cultures, this gives us a chance at co-creating well rounded healthy life stories. Presently, I'm hoping to get to know the east coast. I have family in Philadelphia. Additionally, I've got a few good friends NY, ME and FL.During Feb-Mar of 2017 I'll be Bouncing between friends, family and Couchsurf. I hope to get a feel for wether or not the east coast, might be a good place to live and work. ( :
