CURRENT MISSION
Having seen much of South America and the Caribbean, now interested in more long term exploring of our own country, the U.S.

ABOUT ME

My partner, Debra, and I live part time aboard our sailboat. We have sailed to various islands around the Carribean and traveled inland to visit other countries like Peru, Ecuador and Colombia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We´ve had good experiences meeting and staying with other couchsurfers. The CS community is special by providing ways to experience life in new places by genuinely getting to know other people. Even when not staying with other couchsurfers we look forward to seeing new places through the eyes of people who live there.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I´m always amazed when I see a large flock of birds or, when scuba diving, a school of fish in tight formation, moving and turning in unison without touching. It´s an ordinary thing that fascinates me.

Teach, Learn, Share

We have both worked, traveled, learned, taught and shared experience of all kinds with others. A sense of curiosity is important and normal for us.
