About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Sheesh! Getting by day by day is my current mission!

ABOUT ME

I live on my sailboat, and work as an AV Tech.
Also write song lyrics, so any composers would be doubly welcome if they want to co-write a song or two.

PHILOSOPHY
Do unto others...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm offering a berth on my boat as a sleeping space. Not much room aboard, so don't be carrying a lot of stuff!
I've hosted about 80 surfers so far.
(I've been inactive here for about 5 years)

I don't have a car - I bicycle mostly - but I can pick people up at a nearby train station by borrowing a car.

Note: I'm listed as having a 89% response rate. I reply to ALL requests (yes or no) that I actually receive. Couchsurfing email notifications of requests has been kinda flaky, so I just don't see requests sometime. If you don't get an answer within 3-4 days of a request, make a new request, and maybe that will get through.
