I Grew up on the west coast of the USA, surfing, sailing, backpacking, I am a soccer player, music lover, deep thinker, avid reader and Movie lover. I have been operating a tour and travel business in the Peruvian Amazon for the last several years, and now I am setting off on a journey through time and space. I am a very outgoing and positive person, and very respectful of people's time and space. Non smoker, non drinker. (not counting the occasional glass of wine with dinner)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new to Couchsurfing, but I have always looked for opportunities to travel and meet new people. Everyone I meet in life has something to teach me, so the more people I meet , the more I learn....

Interests

I am an idea man. I love the challenge of starting new businesses and seeing opportunities turn into reality. I was a home builder in the USA for many years, so design and construction of living spaces is a real passion. I am a biologist and engineer. I am fascinated by nature in all its manifestations. I want to find a inner peace through nature and travel is the best way to do that.

Music, Movies, and Books

I was raised on Rock in the 60's and 70's, so for me, this is my "Chamber music". I love all forms of music, if it is passionate and played with real "heat" and "heart". I am an avid reader. I love Historical fiction, Fantasy, Biographies and History. I love reading about sailing and explorers. I love old movies, Science fiction fantasy, horror and musicals.
