About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet people and plan the nomadic life

ABOUT ME

I've been in Naples 5 years and am still in love with it. My streangth is a positive perspective on everything. An area I could improve in would be having more compassion for others. I am comfortable at home alone but also really enjoy having someone here - especially when they want to take me out of the house and see the local area. I love to see other places and think trains and buses are the best way to travel.

PHILOSOPHY

Live Easy, But Think First.

Why live my life? It beats the alternative...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Before discovering Cs, my biggest regret was the limited number of people I've been able to share the Italian/Naples experience with. Now thanks to CS, I have everything! I'm especially interested in learning how other people are spending their time on this planet and because of this my world is expanding by leaps and bounds. I'm looking forward to meeting more CSers soon!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Several people have visited me in Italy these 5 years. Many were friend's of Bill. Some of them I've travelled with for short periods and some I've played guide to in the local area. I've had 1st guest experience in Switzerland with two INCREDIBLE hosts. From them I learned more area I can improve in when it comes to being a host and a friend.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hosted CSers and been hosted! Also, I lived in a bungalow on a Mediterranean beach for 3 years. Learned to fly solo in 2 types of Cessna aircraft - to land too! Also had 1/2 hour flying lesson in a helicopter. Rode my HD down Almalfi coast. Drove a convertable up California's Pacific Coast-Highway 1. Played Black Jack in Las Vegas, Atlantic city, and Monte Carlo. I've seen the kings' tombs in Graceland and Jeruselum. I went scuba diving in Red Sea for a week 3 out of the last 5 years, in Costa Brava. I've doven the sunken city of Baia, and I've touched the Sea Godess of Nissida.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Italian, how to get about in Naples, how to ride a motorcycle, how to breath underwater. How to love life w/o chemicals -except coffee/chocolate - those I've not given up and so I can't tell you how. I can teach you how to roast green coffee beans, grind them, and then brew it in your choice of 7 differnt ways. And I can show you where to find the sunken city of Baia.

I want to learn how to be compasionate and pasionate; to exist without a job to keep me occupied; to speak other languages and to improve my Italian. And anything else that you have time to share with me. I am especially open to energy works and desperately need to learn how to cook for more than one.
