Adventure and bringing out the best in people is what I live for.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Great experiences w AirBnB... Love the CS vibe!

I want to hear your life story! Show me what inspires you.

I love activity, nature, fresh healthy food, making new friends, learning about life and culture, and sharing fun experiences.

A bit of a tech and finance nerd :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many to list just "one"...

Chance encounters with humpback whales - scuba + kiteboarding.

Pilot helicopters... Always exciting and fun to share.

Saved a life - I was so grateful it worked out, whew!

Teach, Learn, Share

Love to learn and teach words/phrases.

Glad to teach how to fly a kiteboarding trainer kite (powerful!).

Practicing English? Cool - glad to help make that fun and easy!

No English? No worries - Google Translate is our friend :)

Exercise - yes! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Aside from being able to build/repair just about anything, I'm known to bring smiles and good luck :)
