CURRENT MISSION

Going Wyking

ABOUT ME

I have stories, lots of stories, and if you ask I might tell you more than you ever thought possible. But I promise, I will make you laugh. And if you are open enough, I may help you grow, but thats on you. Some people think I am a bit too honest, I just tell people what others won't, always with the utmost compassion. I still ruffle feathers though, sometimes... I am not afraid of a good challenge, so life brings me lots of joy. Some challenges I have faced have not been as pleasant, but they have created the man I am today. A vet of Afghanistan, a long ago police officer, a warrior, a student, a fiercely loyal friend, a wanderer, a teacher, but most importantly a man enjoying the journey life brings.

PHILOSOPHY

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Cliche, I know, but its what I try and live by. That and, if it ain't your f*cking problem don't mess with it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Thus far, I have just begun on my CS journey. I plan to take a long motorcycle trip around the US and so I will be surfing along the way. I hope once I return home I can return the compassion others treated me with by hosting other travelers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, my amazing girlfriend has told me her stories, and that's all I got. Plan on making some great experiences though!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen six countries on three continents. I have seen the best and the worst of humanity.

Teach, Learn, Share

TO LEARN: I love learning a new trade or craft. Old religions, spirituality, and spiritual growth are all great interest of minds, and those that like to discuss such things can keep me entranced for hours. Anything about motorcycles or scooters gets me going. And I have a HUGE fascination and love for Blacksmithing. I want to learn about horses and mules.

SHARE/TEACH: I am good at maintenance. Maintenance of your house, your car, maybe your life... lol. Certain survival skills and things of an out door nature. I also can tell you a whole lot about Vikings, and medieval history. And I can help you prepare for Zombies!!!
