About Me

Greetings,

I live in a duplex in the very laid back and beautiful town of Neptune Beach, just outside of Jacksonville Florida.

My home is 600 feet from the beach and a very active restaurant and bar scene is within walking distances.

I have a large couch in the living area looking out over the patio.

All best,

Mark

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to give back and also help support others with similar interests. I like meeting people, sharing a meal, going to the beach, exploring - pretty much everything interests me.

Interests

solar, development, human rights, economic development, etc

Music, Movies, and Books

Just saw the movie "A Perfect Day" - about aid workers in Bosnia (where I served) and it was great. I reached out to the author of the book the movie was based - MSF senior staffer Paula Farias - she nailed it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
