CURRENT MISSION

After a month at a Spanish school in Nicaragua, I shall meet my sister in Bogota and then we shall galavant about Colombia, Ecuador and, and Peru together by hiking, swimming, tree climbing,and anything else we might have to do to get the job done!

ABOUT ME

I love experiments. My life is just one long series of experiments, especially concerning food and beverage. I am an avid brewer. I love the mountains and the trees. I feel more at home while backpacking in the High Sierras than anywhere else. I love music, but I'm no expert on any particular instrument because I can't resist always picking up a new one.

PHILOSOPHY

Take actions that will build up yourself and those around you. Find passion for the things you do and cultivate awareness, compassion and love within yourself so that you may infect others with these things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed in Invercargill, New Zealand with a group of surfing students who opened my eyes about opening doors to strangers. good people.
I have done lots of wwoofing, but until now not much couch surfing.

Interests

I like to make things. I make things like wine, beer, brandy, cheese, soap, crocheted hats and socks, bows, slings, atlatls, small houses...

I am in great awe of ancient man/hunter gathers and fancy myself a part-time self-taught student of hunter/gathering. Ishmael rules.
I love archery.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a month working with metal workers in Nepal. I endured much laughter from locals who thought that the sight of a white guy in a Nepali hat, sweating bullets in a rural blacksmith's forge was the most hilarious thing ever. I learned a lot about iron work and people.

Brewing wine and beer is my trade and and I love to ramble on about it so please ask!
