CURRENT MISSION: Adventure and meet folks! I had half my lung removed a few years back and have been saving and going on adventures since then while the time is good. I've cycled across America, Israel, and Australia all on different experimental tall bikes that I built while carrying a portable mig welder. Most recently I was in the Philippines as a lead in starting a makers space for disaster relief which is exciting territory no one has covered. I enjoy kicking back drinks and having a good time but like to get to know peoples viewpoints,reasoning, and philosophies. I don't like doing touristy junk and shelling out cash for a bunch of worthless material keychains that gain nothing. I much prefer to get right into the mix and volunteer, help out, entertain, adventure, and learn/teach with others...and more adventure. Im good keeping myself busy so if you are occupied with work or school I can keep myself entertained.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to meet like minded people and plug right into an area to have a good time and learn/ share. I usualy camp and also spontaneously meet people while travelling that I end up staying with but would like to do some couchsurfing.

What I Can Share with Hosts
