Obsessed with the ocean, crazy rock climber, Filmmaker. Florida native. Currently climbing my way across America in an old 4runner! Left home Aug 2022, digital nomading as a remote video editor, and doing film assignments about once a month in random cities around the US.

My favorite things to do: Boat adventures, snorkeling, diving, lobstering, fishing, long cruises in the night with good people and great music. Everglades drives, hikes, camps, overlanding, mudding, any kind of off-roading, bonfires, parties, hanging out, game nights. I tend to avoid bars and clubs, prefer a picnic on the beach or cooking a good meal at home. I run a sea turtle hatchling rescue operation in Pompano, and have a great crew of volunteers in the summer! If you want to come with me on a shift, I may be able to bring you along! I also hunt and remove invasive burmiese pythons from the everglades, and am an assistant to two successful state contractors. Couchsurfers say I'm the best Everglades guide! Always love to bring people out there and help them experience my home!

I've been an avid rock climber since Jan 2021 and in my first year I sent 5.12 and V8 in the gym. I love to visit climbing gyms in the places I travel. I've also been to Rocktown in Chattanooga, Red Rocks, and Indian Creek!

My Florida is the best Florida!

Look forward to meeting everyone!

***For surfers***
Due to the increasing number of requests from tourists looking for a free place to stay in expensive South Florida, let me remind you this is not a free Airbnb site. As a host, I cater to travelers looking for an authentic local experience.

As a rule I accept requests if you have at least TWO of the following:

Verification
Several references
Many photos
Descriptive and complete profile

OR

You have hosted more than you have surfed. This is the best way to obtain my spare key.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Much too social for hotels. Looking to meet new people through a trusted platform. When I live in a place where I am able to host, my home will be open for guests! I do not judge anyone, all are welcome.

音乐、电影和书籍

Love some electronic deep house. Jack Johnson is ok, but for road trips I love John Denver. Also, I can play the pipe organ. In other words, put on some music - I guarantee I will enjoy it!

教，学，和分享

Favorite part about couchsurfung is hearing the stories and absorbing wisdom from those smarter than me! I can give photography lessons too, because some people say I'm good at it :)

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Exploration stories, a listening ear - I love to hear about life experiences.
A clean and neat person who leaves no trace. I am happy to help out in any way that I can.

I will trade my professional services (commercial video) for lengthy accommodations in far away places. Please see my portfolio and contact me with any opportunities. www.vimeo.com/purpleflamingo
