I've spent most of my life sailing. I was raised on a sailboat while my parents sailed around the world. and I've been traveling on the sea and on land ever since. I love sailing in the open ocean, especially when i am alone on my boat. the sea is amazing. life on land still feels a little strange to me: the land does not move like a boat moves! I love learning and find sharing food and sharing community with other people gives me a wonderful sense of fulfillment.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Through couchsurfing people who have never met can become connected through generosity. I love to share with people and while I'm on the road my memories and my stories are all I have to share. I believe everyone has valuable knowledge to share. I've never met someone from whom I didn't learn something.

兴趣

I´ve spent close to 25 years of my life living, working, building, or sailing boats of one kind or the other. I love the freedom of the Open Ocean. I've sailed across the Pacific Ocean 4 times in my life and I hope to be able to sail across many more times. I love the Pacific because there are SO MANY different kinds of cultures on SO MANY different islands. Sometimes there is a new language to learn on EVERY island you visit. When I am not sailing I'm traveling and this is when i get joy to meet new people through couchsurfing.

音乐、电影和书籍

I really enjoy any type of music where I can understand the lyrics music that has a nice sound that is pleasing to the ears! I´m not so picky! Jack Johnson is not so bad!

as for movies and documentaries: >"Meru" is a climbing documentary and is totally awesome, Forest Gump is a classic, Avatar is pretty awesome, and anything with David Attenborough will entrall me for hours!

books: Calvin and Hobbes, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Enchanted Vagabonds, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, South Sea Vagabonds, and of course The Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit!
