CURRENT MISSION

Searching for the world's most perfect brownie. If anyone has any tips or wants to join this mission, please feel welcome.

ABOUT ME

Doing my best to learn the world and to be like my Uncle Ray, who makes people's lives better than they were, yesterday. Every time! The man is like a Saint, I tell you.

PHILOSOPHY

Do good. Be happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been having a great time hosting people from around the world, lately less than I prefer because of a hectic work schedule - and I'm traveling, meow. We've all had a great time and I look forward to the next one, as usual.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been hosting just about every other weekend since April of 2008, and surfed the first time in July of 2009. The community has changed ever so slightly in the last 10 years, but I'm so happy to be a part of it.

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Toss up: survive my 20's, or taught Rugby in East Africa.

Teach, Learn, Share

People can be pretty alright, after all. Who knew?

What I Can Share with Hosts

Warmth of heart, cookies, and stories upon stories about... getting mugged by a baboon, amazing races, being detained or arrested in various countries for variously foolish things... the normal stuff.
