Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I find great importance in a worldwide community/connection. I have hosted countless people in my home and am happy to show a new perspective to those who seek one. I have also been fortunate to have made friends worldwide who have put me up from time to time when passing through. I feel fortunate as a human and I do what I can to be good to those I meet along the way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed on many couches, floors, beds, lawns, campsites, beaches in my life and I don't expect to stop anytime soon. I am one for experience.

Whether I am hosting or surfing, one thing for sure is that I will be cooking delicious meals to share.

My home has welcomed many from across the globe. Most of them are or have become close friends.

I'm happy to guide friends 'n folks to the lesser known secret sweet spots in and around town. Let's explore.

And if you're curious about flying with nothing but a magic backpack, I'd be happy to show you some things. Paragliding might change your life/perspective.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently flew wing to wing with a red-tailed hawk.
The next day, I sailed to the Farallon Islands.

I have built a business that breaks free from the standard 9-5 monday through friday job, creating work for others that not only empowers but gives free time and flexibility that we all could benefit from.

I've thrown underground events that have been ranked highly in peoples' "all time best events ever"

I'm not stopping anytime soon.
Anything is possible.

Teach, Learn, Share

Beekeeping, Music technology, Gardening, Cooperative business models, Bicycle maintenance, Sailing, Cooking style and recipes, Free flight... the list goes on and on. I love teaching those who wish to learn and learning from those willing to teach. I am a human of many trades and have a strong desire to learn more.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll cook darn good meals to share. Talk about philosophy, free flight, community, connection, etc... I can also give you the space you need. I'm grateful to be able to share the space!
