About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm starting with the man in the mirror.

ABOUT ME

I'm starting a new chapter, currently living in Central America, and looking for new friends. Get in touch if you want to meet. (You can also follow my journey at ReStartExperiment.com)

I don't have a couch yet, as I'm doing the gypsy-surfer thing, and looking for places to stay, but when I get a place of my own I will update it here.

I'm a waterman, surfer, writer, pilgrim, naturalist. I just want to help make this a better place and connect.

In helping people after natural disasters and helping nature after people disasters, I've experienced how we are all connected, to everything and everyone. And I'd like to intentionally connect more, and work together to help each other.

PHILOSOPHY

Say what you mean, mean what you say.

We can create a pure, free world by being honest with ourselves and others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
