About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Change the system, one cog at a time.

ABOUT ME

Spend a lot of time enjoying Santa Cruz. Used to do a lot of solo traveling by way of my thumb and feet, but in later years started a company and the grind nearly killed me. I'm now trying to recover from that.

PHILOSOPHY

True wealth is in connection and flow. Spirituality is letting go of yourself and feeling the pains and pleasures of the earth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have any experience yet as a surfer or host. Right now, I'm living in a house where we host people all the time--several times a week--but most of this comes from word of mouth. We have had a few couchsurfers come through, but these people connected with us through my housemate's couch surfing account.

Interests

Reading, learning, hiking, riding my bike, and traveling.

  • music
  • surfing
  • economics

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I pissed off the 60th richest person on the planet so much that he spent tens of thousands of dollars--maybe more--trying to sue me unsuccessfully.

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Canada, Chile, Guatemala, Mexico
