CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to Keep this Balance in my life I've found traveling and share it with others... and to be able to incorporate creativity with nature... and look at the world upside down at least 3x a week

ABOUT ME

Let's see I was born in a wee fishing town which the "perfect Storm'gave a name - Gloucester, Massachusetts- U.S. Raised on the ocean I never feel quite complete without it nearby. I delved into art at the young age of 5 and have never been able to shake it free. From there I carved a hole in Brooklyn, NY painting my ass off, and then drove to the Bay Area in California to make my fortune. Well I didn't in riches, but self-growth for sure. Now I've been traveling for 5 months through Southeast Asia, Oz and NZ.. .doing artist residencies, meeting fabulous people and loving life!

PHILOSOPHY

I'll keep you posted

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm sleeping on others peoples couches at the moment- giving good suggestions of where to travel, and planning on sharing my couch with people when I return home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The best is sleeping on a second story outdoor porch in Thailand (koh Lanta) with the moon smiling at me.
