PHILOSOPHY

Be kind, step softly, speak lightly, always respect others and our earth. Teach the young. TV will waste you and your time, Time is limited , enjoy every minute or it becomes a minute of wasted time , you dont have time to waste so live , enjoy to the fullest, Work less, sail more and live slow. Walking barefoot is good for the soul. Don"t be a slacker.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Providing others the opportunity to see beautiful, natural, remote places , that they would not get the chance to experience without the sailing skills and a vessel. By offering free sailing instruction to those who want to learn. By Having a open mind and being nonjudgmental . By living Close to nature and having the time to share all life has to offer , and my couches.

Good Times, Friends meet along the way, people who value time and joy more than money gained. free thinking young in spirit .

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The sea in all its states, crazy wild and beautiful, swimming with whale sharks in cuba , Having a huge humpback turned 180 and put his huge eyeball a foot from my face while swimming with him. The harmony of earth and its creatures. Then there are all the things we do every day,waking up, the heart that keeps the beat , good health. Luck , Luck is timing and preparedness at the same time, Having had a head on on my motor cycle,into a car and walking away from it. Riding a fright train across country .Wilderness and mountains, air time, fighting fires in southern california. out smarting pirates of Haiti , sailing across the oceans, Creating things for others to enjoy, Not being focused on working for things but rather enjoying the simple things we were born into, nature is perfect only we are not. There is nothing as amazing as the earth we are a part of.

Teach, Learn, Share

People who go through life with an open mind and have something special to share with others and are willing to give back for the simple rewards, a smile .laughter, a hug, nice words. learn to slow down life and you will feel like your days are longer, get rid of that wrist watch, that TV They only speeds up your life, try to lose track of time even what day of the week it is and you will have more days to enjoy. much to learn.
