About Me

I have been in Florida for the last 1/2 year in the place my Father left me. In 2025 I feel New England calling me back. Going to be looking for meaningful and practical part time work and doing some camping..

Many interesting careers - Building Performance/energy Auditor, Electrician, Construction, Info Tech Specialist ( media geek for UVM) -- and most recently built up a farm w/greenhouse from scratch. My culinary skills are pretty good, and I esp. like making spicy ethnic food and breads !!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Exploring options to live and work in Southern NH area or Vermont again. Mainly hoping to meet like minded agrarian types - who enjoy a bit of art here and there !

Hope to do this just for fun and travel as well .

Interests

  • arts
  • organic farming
  • cooking and baking

Music, Movies, and Books

Big into Theatre the Arts in general and LIVE Music is my favorite -

I like good examples of almost all genres of Movie/Film -- except full on horror. Comedy has been great lately since the world's been rather dark! Obscure stuff from the 70's and before is fun to seek out too.

I read a lot of non-fiction, like technical, philosophy etc. But really like some classics as well as Bukowski, Vonnegut, H.S.Thompson..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Built a farm from scratch on raw land with the power, water and 2K square foot USDA certified greenhouse.

Teach, Learn, Share

Yes.
Also, I love Swimming, SCUBA, biking and esp. MOPEDS. I know how to make a beam out of a log with just an axe. Plenty of experience with hand and power tools, fixing and restoring things..

What I Can Share with Hosts

Nutritional and spicy ethnic cooking ... how to make Naan and Tortillas etc. I also make natural medicine.
