Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I think in order to know a place, you have to know the people. And this is a way to make my world a little smaller.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a big fan of live music. I try to plan a lot of my travel around seeing local shows. I’m currently learning to play several instruments, primarily guitar, but I’m not very good just yet.
Who doesn’t love movies.
I don’t read as much as I’d like to when I’m off work, but I burn through books when I’m at sea. I enjoy thrillers and horror books but I read intov all sorts of genres, feel free to give me a recommendation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve driven a WWII era Victory Ship and a 950’ long U.S. Naval ship.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’d be happy to share my home and my city with you, I grew up in Tampa and know and love a side of it that not everyone gets to see.
I can teach you whatever you want to learn about sailing and life at sea. It’s a pretty interesting profession that’s both modern and ancient at the same time. I’ve got a lot of sea and travel stories to share.
