ABOUT ME

Wanderer of the World. "I am a citizen of the most beautiful nation on earth. A nation whose laws are harsh yet simple, a nation that never cheats, which is immense and without borders, where life is lived in the present. In this limitless nation, this nation of wind, light, and peace, there is no other ruler besides the sea." - Jacques Brei

PHILOSOPHY

You are responsible for your own happiness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Once I had the choice, I have lived in beautiful places. I grew up in Nebraska, beautiful in its own way, but I blame the stork for tiring too early and dropping me so far from water. I enjoy playing tour guide and showing people my piece of paradise, seeing it through their eyes and sharing their enthusiasm.

Interests

Self sustainablilty is the dream I chase. Growing your own food is good for the soul. I wish I had wings so I could fly. Until then, I kite surf. Music inspires me and I listen to and play it often. Sailing has taught me the patience to preservere in all situations. Snowboarding in Tahoe has been keeping me entertained during the winter, but that chapter is closing as the endless summer is once again calling my name.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like tales of the high seas, especially Bernard Moitessier. Crime fiction by Carl Hiiasen and Lawrence Shames. Elmore Leonard books are always on hand. My favorite books are Rule of the Bone, The Shantaram, and Bukowski's drunken ramblings.
I am a live music fanatic. I plan my summers around music festivals, never a better time to be in the moment!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I sold all my worldly possesions and fit my remaining belongings into two bags. I then left my life in Hawaii to become a citizen of the sea upon a 36' sailboat.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach forgiveness, anger is not a weight that I choose to carry. I like to share my happiness, smiles are my favorite form of currency. We are all students, leaning about yourself and your cyclical nature are essential to understanding your tendencies, both good and bad.
