I live in Leavenworth, WA a small mountain town 2.5 hours from Seattle. I own a whitewater rafting company, Alpine Adventures, that operates on different rivers around Washington State. During the winter I bartend at Stevens Pass ski resort.
I have travelled to most every city in the USA and been to 48 states, not Alaska and probably never Louisiana. I have hiked in many of the national parks. My favorite is Arches National Park in Moab Utah, the energy vortexes there are powerful. Anytime I am driving across the country I make a stop there.

I used to work with my Knoxville crew, El Deth, a recording label to book bands promote shows and make flyers around the SouthEast. We had some great Halloween parties with multiple bands playing, over the years the events were held in an old barn, a tree farm, and a haunted mansion.
I still like to create different events mostly in the woods where I set up lights lazers and create nice atmospheres for people to enjoy. One day I would like to live work at a healing arts center /permaculture community and living with the earth.

Leave no trace. Leave the campsite better than you found it. Golden rule do unto others...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Too share new experiences with people. I want to meet locals to learn about their culture as well as random travelers to expand my mind and the minds of others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For the last 6 years I have hosted an event with live bands on an island in a river in the middle of the forest with 350-400 people dancing under many lights swirling up into the pine trees, leds shining on the fast moving River.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach whitewater and hydrology. Share awareness.

I want to learn more about primitive earth skills, true history, native peoples, shamans, different dimensions, dream control.
Also learn more about meditation, yoga, energy channeling / healing.

I am merely a bag of water thankful for the gift of life in this human form trying to find my place in the great mystery.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Music. I am a good cook and bartender. New thoughts ideas.
