Update : In Guatemala enroute to Miami/FTL in a few days.

This all started quite sometime ago when I realized that adventure was not antithetical to my life goals, that it was not an interruption, but instead the perfect conduit, I decided to quit pursuing a stationary life. I started focusing on facilitating what I love most: photography, documentation, meeting new people, and traveling.

LIVING on the road has its own set of challenges and rewards. It requires creative thinking. There will always be uncertainty. But it makes sense as a choice when you realize that there is nothing more important than traveling to your personal development and happiness. When you've dispensed with rent, when you've distilled your belongings and responsibilities into what perpetuates your own adventure, you are winning.

Im looking to meet all wonderful humans and staying places where good energy is exchanged. Radical folks who are living off the land/grid, rearing animals, or doing art head to the front of the line! Im simply going with the flow with a back pack and my thumb up towards the road and life.

ABOUT ME:

Ive lived just about everywhere in the U.S. from Hawaii to New Orleans. For sometime I resided in a 1973 VW BUS on the open road with my best-friend. I’ve painted aerosol murals around the world, started restaurants, wrestled alligators for a living, toured the U.S. extensively playing music and traveled the nation photo documenting American Mental Asylums for the better part of 15 years. Theres only two things you can do in this life, "Start the path and continue it."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Im on here to extend good vibes and meet radical people! Hitchhiking and filming my way through California.

Interests

Old buildings and the open road! Being creative and making art. Shredding metal on the guitar and playing bluegrass on a mandolin. Yoga and meditation. Cookin!!!

Respect, compassion, and transparency. I'm pretty low key and clean, down for hanging out but also love doing my own thing. Ya know, like most hyumans! Would love to make food together, go swimming, do yoga, garden, see your favorite wilderness spot, play music, draw, paint on things, and share stories! Anything!
