CURRENT MISSION

I am in my odyssey years.

ABOUT ME

I'm often engaged in some far-fetched art project or other and love to support the creative endeavors of those around me. I grew up on a sailboat with my parents in the San Francisco Bay and we would go sailing on the weekends and in the summers. I'm currently living out the sailing adventure of a lifetime - just crossed the Pacific, the largest ocean on the planet, in 2011 sailing 7,000 miles from Mexico to Australia. Looking to see what's what in Oz and NZ and maybe keep sailing...

PHILOSOPHY

Fortune favors the bold, but not the stupid.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to couch surfing, though I've been traveling and hosting
traveler for many years. How great to find this website that helps
connect travelers to like-minded people.

Interests

Roofs with far views, bands with dancing beats, skies with amazing clouds, people who smile with their whole face, artist who make work with their whole being, 420s (a small 2-person sailboat that flies with the right amount of wind), riding my bike - even in New York which is a little bit scary, watermelon.
