I am on a quest to sail the South Pacific Ocean from Panama to New Zealand! Fortunately for me, there are going to be many stops along the way, and I figure couchsurfing is the one of the best methods for meeting local people and experiencing the rugged beauty that is Latin America. I have been living in Hawaii for two years learning permaculture and small scale organic agriculture. This knowledge has transformed into a lens in which I now experience the world, a way of living a life closer to nature and ecological efficiency.

I hope I can help around the house, buy you a beer, cook dinner, etc. in exchange for a roof over my head! I would love to swap stories and share music.
Cheers and Aloha!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Panama-marquesas crossing: I spent 28 days on the open ocean without sight of land or other boats.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm spreading the word of permaculture like it was a religion..
