About Me

PLEASE HAVE SOME COURTESY AND DON'T REQUEST MY COUCH THE SAME DAY YOU NEED IT OR THE DAY BEFORE.
MAXIMUM 1 PERSON. MY REPLY RATE IS VERY LOW ONLY BECAUSE I DON'T RESPOND TO GROUPS OR LAST MINUTE REQUESTS.

ABOUT ME

I moved from the U.S. to Costa Rica about 10 years ago.
Recently I built a house near the beach in the Gandoca- Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge. The monkeys and sloths and birds here are pretty amazing. One of my neighbors is The Ara Project, which is helping the Great Green Macaw come back from near extinction, so those rare birds are often seen here. I'm working on a organic fruit and vegetable garden, and I love the ocean, playing live music and riding motorcycles.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, make sure to enjoy the ride regardless of its ups and downs.
