CURRENT MISSION

Remember everything I knew when I was six:)

ABOUT ME

Early in 2008 I decided to change my life...10 days later I was on a plane to Mexico having sold/given away everything I owned. I have been enjoying the most amazing adventures since. Much of my travels have been sailing, my new passion. But I tend to like to travel slowly, really dig into a place and see what it is all about. I rarely make plans anymore because I am not creative enough to even think of the adventures that just happen when I stop trying to control things.

PHILOSOPHY

Hmmm, have you ever read Desiderata? That might sum it up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

* UPDATE: I am back in the USA and bought a car for a big road trip. Seattle to...maybe New Orleans? But first the west coast. My car will be my main "home" but I would love to meet some great people from my own country. Show me around?

I have just purchased an Ausrail Pass and am hoping to see as much of this beautiful country as I can. But the countryside, and wildlife are only half of the story. I would really like to get to know people and see the places I travel from their perspective. Nothing is better than local knowledge. And maybe I can cook you a meal?
* I did this train trip and it was great. Three CS experiences and two friends for life:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam with over one hundred whale sharks once in Mexico. That was amazing! And this summer I white water rafted the Colorado River. 18 days down the Grand Canyon. Incredible!
