About Me

I just left Austin 🤠for Boston 🥶.
Nope. Just left Boston 🥶 for El Salvador 🥵

I’m currently exploring Central America to see if I would like to make a home here.

2017-2019 I drove (or rode) 50,000 miles through 30 countries in Europe, North, Central, and South America.

I write books about the nature of our humanity and our reality, and how to thrive in any situation.

I'm always looking for a place to settle down with a good sense of community, but I'm compelled to travel.

PHILOSOPHY

Letting go seems to be powerful. I think I've been given what I need to live life to the fullest, it's just a matter of uncovering what is already here.

I've recently realized the value of being internally united.
Giving space to all the different feelings and beliefs inside this one person,
then bringing all the parts together in an accepting, loving way.
As I do that, I'm able to offer the same to others.

Simplicity is currently the name of the game,
but I get caught taking on new projects and businesses if I'm not careful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to make my home a sanctuary for those who stay with me.

At one point, I was renting four different apartments for my business.
Sometimes I was able to give couchsurfers their own fully furnished apartment.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been hosted a few times, and they were good experiences.
I've also hosted a few times, and they were also good experiences.

Interests

I'm into motorcycles, cars, truck, anything with an engine. Swimming, beach cruising, and flying power kites when living in California. Soccer, skateboarding, chess, backgammon when in Santa Fe.. I've had about 30 jobs, 30 cars, 30 motorcycles and 30 homes.

I appreciate quality products made by the hands of a craftsman.
I like music and playing guitar.

Music, Movies, and Books

I already think too much, so I'm not reading right now. Book are almost always Zen or something like it.
Music: 90's-2000's soul, 90's punk, classic rock, 90's underground-ish hip-hop, old folk (singer/songwriter), new folk, new rock.

I usually like philosophical movies, but right now I prefer comedies.

Books: Be Here Now, 8 Gates of Zen, Book of Knots...
