About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live a transient life of international mystery and intrigue

PHILOSOPHY

The past is gone - nothing you can do about it.

The future will happen as it happens.

The only thing is ... now.

Deep, right? I stole it from Bill Murray in Broken Flowers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I finally experienced my first surf last year and ... I can safely say I'm addicted!

Interests

Hiking, backpacking, diving, biking, geeking out online and writing/editing Vagabondish.com.

I love language and linguistics. I have a basic understanding of Spanish and an even lesser basic understanding of French. But I'm continuing to learn!

Oh ... and travel, travel and more travel.
