CURRENT MISSION

To live life as a good role model, transforming old destructive or unhelpful patterns into patterns of being a great caretaker for the Earth and it's inhabitants. (especially my sweet beautiful daughter and wife)

ABOUT ME

I Love this roller coaster we call life. I have travelled to 32 countries around the world. My wife has been to 11 of them with me. (India-Nepal-Caucasus-Turkey-Greece-Eastern Europe) We enjoy nature, music, dancing, learning, primitive skills, art, yoga, hiking, camping, gardening, cooking, growing in all directions, compassionate caring sweet hearted people, and plenty more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted people when I've had a home, and participated in couch surfing potlucks, as well as surfing couches all over the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed on a different profile for years in Latin America and USA, and now have surfed many places along the way on this profile... I have hosted folks in Washington State when I had a cabin, and would like to do more hosting now that we have such a beautiful home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled by land from Brazil to the Southern tip of Argentina, then followed the Andes to where they meet the Carribean in Colombia. Sailed from there to Panama and took the land back to the USA through central America and Mexico.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Yoga, I love leading or participating in backcountry excursions, I love to learn and share music and primitive living skills, and I love to share whatever I have to share.
