I enjoy gardening, cycling, helping people however I can, traveling on-the-cheap when I can meet and talk to everyday people, eating local cuisine, studying local architecture, and learning culturally unique customs. Although of elevated age, I am blessed with perfect health, unwaning energy, open-minded experimentation (except for drugs), and determination to grow in compassion, refinement, and understanding.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
