Been a traveler all my life, surf in the ocean, and am a (mellow) ironman triathlete. Parent to four wonderful children and you can see my wife in the photo. I practice meditation in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh and Anasura yoga.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Business travel became tiring when using traditional hotels. Meeting local people who, like me, enjoy sharing stories and activities is awesome!
