ABOUT ME

(Memory almost full)

PHILOSOPHY

What you practice you become. -- Buddha

Drama is optional.

Now is the only place where we have the power to do anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly just local events but I'm looking forward to more surfing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Road trip from Yellowstone to south Florida via Seattle, the length of CA, and the l o n g way across Tejas, stopping over with friends made over that summer. Hosting various tinkers and travellers over the years. With official Couch Surfing organization I've met some wonderful hosts and fellow travellers, just a few stays so far but beyond expectations each time.

Interests

Live music (blues, folk, kirtan, Beatles), singing, dancing, festivals. Hula hoops. whatwouldgoddessdo.com
Poetry. Great reads. The UK. Road trips. Subatomic physics. Open-minded people. Healthy choices. Sacred foolishness.
