CURRENT MISSION

To be free to go sailing, and to help others become free.

ABOUT ME

I was introduced by a neighbor where I am staying at in Vargas Araya, Costa Rica. I am very friendly and am always learning new things. Can help out with your plumbing or problems you might have with your house, just let me know.

PHILOSOPHY

Zen & Kharma. I believe that attachment is the root of all human suffering. If one can just connect to things and just let it go, it will pass as all things change, except for maybe change itself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like the philosphy of giving the power to the people instead of to big industry, to give each person the freedom to roam, just as much as the "wealthy".

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hope to learn more, every couch is different I am sure!

Interests

Sailing is my biggest interest, but learning a whole lot of espanol right now, need it to explore central and South America...I have been missing these nations and it's peoples for way way way too long, so now I start, better late then never!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of music, but particular songs I find very powerful, depending on where I am in my path of life, some songs connect me with my past, some songs create the moment I am in now. I like rock, jazz, classic, new age, all kinds.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmm..well, lived in China for 3 months.

Went sailing over night in the open Pacific Ocean in a small 34 foot sailboat, realized I was a bit crazy without a hand radio, but was incredibly beautiful stars and milkey-way galaxy blanketing my eyes, breeze blowing in my face, really breathless, felt a bit like an astronaut if that is what an astronaut feels like floating into space.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can sorta kinda sorta teach English...I'll trade english words for Spanish words, so if you need some english words I can trade, just hand me a few spanish words and I'll hand you a few english ones ;).
