CURRENT MISSION

Spend more time surfing

ABOUT ME

Born in Pompano Beach, Florida, raised in Tampa, Florida and most recently residing in St Petersburg, Florida, the Sunshine State has been my home for almost 3 decades. With such a uniquely diverse and stunning array of flora and fauna and perpetual sunshine it is hard not to be captivated by such a naturally beautiful state. Recently, I've been working in St. Pete as a marine fisheries biologist and on a variety of ocean going boats but my girlfriend and I are taking a break from work for now. After a few long trips to Europe, Northern Africa, California and Central America to surf as much as possible I am now back in Europe for 4 months, traveling for fun and to learn culture (not for surfing) and WWOOFing to learn about sustainable agriculture.

PHILOSOPHY

Contribute much, consume little and keep it real.

教，学，和分享

The most natural and unspoiled areas of Florida are often the hardest to access and observe and I would like to help surfers explore and share some of my limited knowledge on the supreme beauty of Florida's wildlife.
I love to learn about the history and politics of surfer's and host's homelands, stories and advice from their travels, culinary culture and philosophy.
I may ask a lot of questions but I love to hear a new perspective.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

A good attitude, funny (hopefully) stories and some local knowledge of having fun in Florida.
