I do anything I want to and you can too!

Just arrived in Belfast and looking to meet interesting people to do adventurous stuff with.

I am a world traveling musician and seeker of truth. I come partnered with an Ewok (Shih Tzu) Her name is Valentina and she's very well behaved. We make good house guests. I can play music for/with you, cook, and share adventurous stories.

Couchsurfing, as a website, is a new thing to me. I have taken many people on adventures on my motorcycles, slept on a few couches when I was younger, and even hosted a person or two in the houses I've had in my life.

I have a very public Facebook profile, as I use that mostly to share my music and shine my light into the world. Feel free to look at my Facebook profile or send me a message to get a better idea of who I am.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined to share my house in Peru with people, but it's too isolated even for me, so now I'm ready to travel again and see another part of the world
I have now given up my house in Peru to go on a bigger adventure. I lived in Peru for almost 4 years and have lived in the jungle and the mountains. It's hard to leave here, but I want to see other parts of the world.
For my next adventure I am flying to Santiago, then Madrid. From there, I will fly to Rome. I know I want to be at Stonehenge by the Summer Solstice and then settle down in Edinburgh, Scotland by July. Everything in between will magickaly fall into place.

Teach, Learn, Share

Looking to learn about various cultures. I know some cooking, but am always eager to learn more. I would like to learn dancing. I can teach guitar and how to train animals. See below for my Skills List from Workaway.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Valentina lights up the room wherever she goes. I tend to help out wherever I go. I play music and sing, people seem to enjoy that. I'm generally a kind and helpful person. I am good at many things. I have created a Workaway Profile to find places I can stay for a longer period of time on my adventure. Here is my Skills List from there:

I have many skills. Almost too many to list. Anything that goes into building an Organic Farm/Ranch, I can do. Fencing, Carpentry, Animal Husbandry, Gardening/Farming. I was raised by a mother and father who taught me many things like cooking and baking, cleaning, carpentry and taking pride in my work. I am very good at training and working with Dogs and Horses. I have also raised Chickens (eggs and meat), Rabbits, Goats (for milk), and Guinea Pigs (A cultural delicacy in Peru) I also know about Plant Alchemy and Essential Oils. I have made Wine/Whiskey/Moonshine many times in life using a small 25 liter still and understand the science of Fermentation/Distillation. I even built my own still in Peru using a pressure cooker and a Pyrex Distillation train. I have studied Viticulture/Enology (Grape Growing/Winemaking) in Napa County California and have been paid to both harvest Grapes and Prune them. I have had a motorcycle and car license since I was 15 years old and have owned many cars/trucks/motorcycles. I understand the basic maintenance of vehicles and small engines. I know how to drive a tractor and a bulldozer.
