Howdy y'all! I'm an adventure seeker suffering immensely from wanderlust; semi-retired engineer drifting around the world and infecting everyone with my giggles. I’m an eternal optimist and find pleasure in any experience. I especially love all nature adventures - camping, climbing, hiking, landscapes, wildlife, permaculture, homesteading, ranching, surfing.

I’m currently set up in a little beach town on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Come surf and ask my about the “blue zone.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hoping to connect with like-minded people who are willing to open their home to a frequent solo-traveler. I love experiencing new places with native locals, and love making life-long friends in distance places.

Music, Movies, and Books

Vintage tastes in music and literature. RocknRoll, blues, red-dirt americana music, jazz, alternative rock, grunge, folk, cumbia, salsa, bachata. I play a little music too so I always love connecting with other musicians for jam sessions.

I love independent film and anything that invokes deep thought. Plus some cult classics!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sold all my possessions and set off on a global adventure with only a backpack

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook, especially for my CS hosts if they’ll let me. Sometimes I just need a little taste of home while traveling and I can only get that in a kitchen.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a pretty fun drinkin and dancin buddy! Always down for a spontaneous adventure.
