Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My neighbor has had several surfers over for a day or two. They have stayed on my property.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The best guest was a young student walking across the country to Washington DC.

The worst was a dull teenager who just ate and drank for a couple days, contributed nothing, not even a story, then disappeared.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Jazz, Afro-cuban, some blues, flamenco, but especially the music of India which I have been doing all my adult life.
I've listed Hemingway as my favorite author. I should add Kurt Vonnegut, Arthur Schlesinger.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Studied with the great Maestro Ali Akbar Khan for 40 years, every lesson new.

Guessed the numbers to the combination lock on the Buddhist Temple gate..

Teach, Learn, Share

My home is a statement of my approach to life: do the most with the least impact. A visitor can come away with fresh ideas about sustainable living.
