CURRENT MISSION

I'm an American engineer (electricity, heat, aircraft and ocean stuff) on his big dream bicycle trip from Southeast Asia up to Russia, through China.

ABOUT ME

I woke up a little while ago and realized that my siblings were all well-married, and I wasn't, and my parents were still in good shape. So this was my chance to "hit eject" and do this trip of a lifetime.

One thing that might "pause" this would be an opportunity to teach for a year or two at an international high school along the way. That would really do it for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Now I'm in purely "consumer" mode, as I'm nothing more than an international high-tech homeless man now myself. Just saying.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only couchsurfed just a couple times TEN YEARS AGO in Washington DC when I was going to a renewable energy conference, and it went well. There's some interesting characters out there, let me tell YOU.

Interests

Bicycles. 3D printing. Ships. Schemes, inventions and business ideas. Alternative energy, namely wind power.

• electronics
• blogging
• cycling
• business
• engineering
• entrepreneurship
• history

Music, Movies, and Books

Blink, Tipping Point, Brazil (the movie), plenty of documentaries, and books about shipping and shipbuilding. Plus, some of the Christian Bible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Start and grow my company ReclaimMedia.com. I'm not there full-time anymore, but it's wild to start with an idea and wind up with something that's getting emails and phone calls, employing people, and even making a couple bucks.

Teach, Learn, Share

Basic computer programming, energy and electricity, help setting up and fixing computers, bicycle repair.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Plenty of stories, cleaning help, engineering advice, conspiracy theories, etc.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Botswana, Cambodia, Japan, Namibia, Poland, Singapore, South Africa, Thailand, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In

United States
