About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find whitewater, put my kayak in it.

ABOUT ME

Well, I prefer to kayak most days. Play alot of guitar. I work, but never to hard. I'm trying to learn Spanish. Enjoy some beers and relaxation in the evening. Very easy-going and am likely to do your dishes if you let me crash at your house.

PHILOSOPHY

Just trying to do whatever feels good.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I get settled, I will provide a couch and be a rockin' host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, when I was younger I lived on a couch in a house full of musicians for 5 months. It was more like a loveseat. I couldn't quite stretch out, and later upgraded to my own room.
Surfed in the Keys for a couple months after tracking down an old friend I had given the Heimlich maneuver to. Nice couch.
Various couches post-bar.

Interests

Kayakin', acoustic guitar, rock hoppin', IPA's, swimming holes, more recently-motorcycles, down hill biking would be fun, snowboarding.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

35 foot long Whale Shark. Active volcano spewing lava. Sunset on top of a Mayan Pyramid. Bridge jumping in Equador. Numerous bad ass waterfalls in my kayak.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've learned to tread lightly while travelling. Leave no trace style. I do some dishes, buy some beer and pretty much go with the flow.
