About Me

CURRENT MISSION To ponder great profundities in prolific locales and capture them in photo and video to share how awesome life on this planet is ABOUT ME Working on boats around the world. Looking for a place to call home. PHILOSOPHY Our general need to understand things brings us closer together and I will do anything to help someone understand where I'm coming from if they return the grace.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted in MT and in UT and Bahamas and through much of the Caribbean after running into a hitcher Rose coming back from the Rainbow Fest in Wyoming a number of years ago and have always enjoyed the mass amount of perspectives afforded to the couchsurfing community. I am back to being couchless as my home was destroyed by Hurricane Irma. Will be able to host as soon as I am able.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been able to couch surf in places where I was having a hard time getting by with all the other logistics and these kind souls really helped me and fellow travelers with a warm place. I will never forget the moments spent with people in the middle of their world travels and so thankful for the shoes they lent me to see the world through their eyes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Standing on the bow of a ship entering a storm in an ice carved landscape and understanding the impermanence and power of every living thing struggling to scrape out an existence and feeling quite good about it.

Teach, Learn, Share

It's possible to change minds with the media and we need to figure out a cause to fight for and go for it. Lets save the world from ourselves.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can give you photos and videos and share experiences. I think of myself as an enabler. Let's have an adventure.
