CURRENT MISSION

To make a network of friendships with kindred spirits, at home and while travelling.

ABOUT ME

I have a hunger for first hand knowledge of the vast variety of people, places, and ideas out there; for the thrill of new, raw, intense experiences; for the joy of being fully alive. To avoid the tyranny of the "rat race" and spend my time doing things that inspire me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been bumping into couchsurfers for the past 2 or 3 years and thought I'd better find out what it's all about. I'm new on here as of 2012.

Interests

Photography, Scuba & snorkelling, wild creatures, spectacular landscapes, new foods, laughing a little too loud, dancing, good movies, meditation, ancient cultures, cities with great neighborhoods and architecture, campfires, entertaining my nephews & neices. Always down for a party, but not a big drinker. I need no chemicals to act like a fool, I can do it pretty much *on demand*

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Transportation Disasters! I've been on a Cambodian longboat that crashed; in a Greek bus that crashed. Robbed by Gypsies in a Bulgarian train station? The brakes caught on fire on my Thai train. On the Andean high plateau, my bus slid off the road & tipped over, coming to rest against an embankment. I and the other passengers had to get out in foot-deep mud and push.

None of these things will happen when WE'RE travelling together of course! Fortune will smile upon us incessantly :)

Got stories? I look forward to swapping travel tales with you.
