CURRENT MISSION

Tryin' to help make the world a better place.

ABOUT ME

Howdy, folks. I believe we can create a world that better supports the highest aspirations and noblest character of all of us.

I'm currently conducting an original research project that combines by lifelong passion for culture and nature, on behalf of environmental sustainability.

In this spirit I offer my warmest welcome (and a couch) to those of us who, around the world, are striving toward something good.

PHILOSOPHY

I feel best when I'm living life well. Living life well means I do well for myself and others, and thus inspire them to do well in their lives and for the lives of others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't hosted much on CS, and work out of town often during the not-so-snowy season, but am happy to accommodate a guest or two with a bit of notice. My couch is not new to visitors. It has had its good share of family, friends, and kind folk who have need for a warm, dry, safe place for the night.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been welcomed to many couches from many different folks at various times throughout my life, and they have been great experiences. These recurring acts of kindness, warmth and hospitality, have encouraged me to spread this good thing.
