ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is to treat others I would want to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host a lot of couch surfers. I have toned it down a bit, but I have hosted as many as 4 at a time. It has been a great experience. I am planning on doing some traveling later this year.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Okay, so it is official. As of 28 July 2014 I have now hosted 200 Couch Surfers.
I have lots of good things to say about the whole couch surfing community and my experiences.

Interests

I like to dance west coast swing, east coast swing and Salsa. I also really enjoy going out to see rockabilly bands

I am a big history buff, when I travel I love visit museums, areas of historical interest. You could take me to an old fort and I could get lost for hours.

Another thing I love is trading; however, I come from a totally different perspective. I come from the place that you do not actually trade the market, rather you trade your beliefs in the market.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love great documentaries. I enjoy reading and/or listening to great thinkers like Noam Chomsky.

I like all sorts of music everything from the Broken Bells to Black Keys.

I am avid reader. Just finished reading Willful Blindness (why we ignore the obvious at our peril). Other books that I recently read, Fooled by Randomness, by Nicholas Taleb Naseem, Empire of Illusion by Chris Hedges. I just picked up a book on The Renegade History of the United States, so far its fascinating. I have to admit that I do enjoy picking up the Economist and giving it a good read.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in the Canadian Army and I got to take a Demolitions Instructors Course. We would setup all of our charges and then get to go to a bunker with blast proof glass. It was amazing to see the explosions and then see the shock wave as it caused the air to refract light. It is literally a wave.

I loved my time in the military, but in no way do I glorify war. I take a very reasonable and worldly view. As I said before, treat others as you would want to be treated.

Teach, Learn, Share

I guess I could teach you how to dance, I am not a teacher per se, just knowledgeable, and somewhat competent.

I would like to learn how to cook more dishes.
