I live in a several different worlds. I am an attorney, a father of 4 children, a professional gardener, uninspiring musician and I love to down hill ski, cross country ski and surf. I only read non fiction coupled with a great sense of humor I get by. I'm approaching old man hood now but when I finished high school I begun traveling for long periods taking photographs of everyday people all around the world. Bohemian and humanist at heart- plain and simple. I own a small law practice in Massachusetts, where I help people with family law and debt problems.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have had a lot of great experiences in life and none of them have been at hotels. For me, traveling requires living local to where I am - with the people and travelers who crate a sense of place.

It is all about meeting people. Being a host and a guest are very fundamental things we do and I like to being good at both. Visiting others, being a guest in their home, is a kind and relaxed way to meet people who value travel and learning about others. It is just simple and enjoyable. You are always welcome to visit beautiful North Hampton.

Whether it is Maine, Mexico or Morocco I am drawn to the people who live where I am visiting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On a whim I bought a donkey at an Arab market for seventy dollars and took a 36 day trip with the donkey through Isreal and Jordan. Amazing and probably dangerous but I was too young and stupid to care.

Teach, Learn, Share

They are all the same act. Teach the value of going to where people are. Improve your ability to learn each year. Work hard to share laughter with as many as you can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook, clean, garden, discuss almost anything. Above all, I can be really funny unless you don't have a sense of humor like my girlfriend (Just kidding Kyra). I enjoy buying some nice groceries and putting together a nice meal for the host Not opposed to weeding a garden bed or two either. small gifts are always important as well.
