Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to put my feet in every ocean, to greet the people stagnant and in motion. To forget my wealth and find my worth, to lose my mind and discover my soul
ABOUT ME
I am a one man rubber band. Music occupies a great deal of my life. If I am not helping people reduce there energy consumption I am most likely in a park strumming a guitar or uke. Arts of any form interest me, I love to read, write and draw. A nice patch of grass and the sun is all I need
PHILOSOPHY
rethink.
Never regret the things you have done, you can only regret the things you have not
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Fished the Atlantic, swam in the pacific, snorkeled in the gulf of Mexico. Threw snowballs in Morroco. I have climbed waterfalls in Jamaica and drank in Al Cappones Cuban hideout. I met the love of my life my home town.
Teach, Learn, Share
In two days I can show you an organic micro-green grow house, take you down on a river adventure, buy farm raised eggs from Mennonites living off the land. We can volunteer at our local soup kitchen, check out the art galleries, gaze at the only Quantum Physics Institution in Canada and the birthplace of the blackberry. When our legs are wearing we can enjoy a blossoming music scene at one of many fine establishments some right on the water or party in the 200 year old factory I call my creative space.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Food, fun, conversation and life. Also a lot of music.
