About Me

Just created a new domain name for a new career!

www.HempFarm.Work

The site is not finished, but its up and running.

I am an adventurer and producer, a guide and publisher. I have also been studying, practicing and teaching meditation, healing arts, martial arts, and multimedia production for many years..

I enjoy making documentaries and helping people publish their life stories, either via video, print or the web.

Also enjoy showing folks how to use their computers and cameras to earn a decent living doing what they love.

The latest endeavor is learning about Cannabis Hemp and working on a Hemp Farm.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am traveling back and forth to Hawaii creating a way of life where people can engage in the work they love, make a difference and earn a decent living.

Specifically I specialize in Agriculture - Media - and Manufacturing, especially Small Business Development

I prefer to camp-out, be in the forest, live in a treehouse, on a boat, out in the wild, build a snow-cave, or stay with friends, but often it is more fun to meet fellow travelers.

Serendipity abounds when the Great Mystery is given the chance to make "magical" rendezvous wherein the "chance" meeting is miraculously mutually beneficial, or I just happen to show up just when people need what I have to share most. This happens A LOT!

I usually show up for people who are the threshold of great change.

Interests

Adventure - Stewardship - Production

Making Movies - Making Money - Making a Difference.

I LOVE doing guided relaxation, meditation and shaman journeys wherein you actually get to experience what it is like to fly on the inner planes of consciousness!

What I Can Share with Hosts

all of the above and more.

I love hard-labor outside or inside doing hard, dangerous or difficult stuff that no on else wants to do.

I nearly always feel compelled to leave each place, both in nature and civilization, better than I found it, unless hosts just don't want me to do anything, except enjoy.

Yet I really enjoy helpin out.

Gardening - Landscaping - Beautification

Digging - Raking - Shoveling

Among the best things I can share are guided Adventure and Meditation - Healing Arts and Martials Arts - Publishing your OWN book or making a Movie.
