About Me

CURRENT MISSION
To be missionless.

ABOUT ME

Ciao! I'm a pretty easy-going fellow, and I've been living and dreaming on Cali's far north coast since 2010. I'm fair and considerate, gentle and kind, and I love clear and direct communication.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not philosophical. Pretty visceral, less cerebral.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Still working on that! I participate by being a great guest, and by promoting it when I can. I’ve only hosted once, but greatly look forward to doing so again.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
