Recently moved back to civilization after living off grid in Ecuador and Thailand for a few years helping a communities and farms get started. US Navy Rescue Swimmer and veteran stationed in Pearl Harbor and in San Diego. I lived in raw vegan communities on the Big Island of Hawaii, Ecuador, and Thailand. Lived on Oahu for most my life. I maintain a healthy lifestyle. Not interested in dating on this app. Just hang out with fun people

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a nice way to travel and connect with people. I sometimes rather spend my money and time with locals and travelers than the traditional means of hotels.

Interests

Open water swimming, long distance and trail running, surfing, scuba diving, cliff diving, reading nonfiction, occasional thought provoking movie, maybe a discussion afterwards. I am into healthy living, leaning towards a plant based diet, fruitarianism, and optimal living. I am certified Gerson Caregiver to promote cancer healing through nutrition and detoxification.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've witnessed quite a number of amazing things, so it's hard to just name one. For example, I helped a man in Tulsa, Oklahoma cure himself of stage 4 non hodgkins lymphoma, terminal cancer. I have taken a child with cerebral palsy on a tandem surfboard and we watched sea turtles as we surfed. I helped start a non profit organization and have witnessed daily miracles in the form of men and women overcoming their limitations and being more complete than many because of this. I have taught Yoga, English, gardening and other subjects to over 50 children at an orphanage in Thailand and I continue to witness wonderful transformations everyday.

I am a certified Yoga Instructor and have years of experience. I went through the Gerson Therapy Internship and am certified.
