Surfing is love. Music is life. Nature is nurture. Meditation is balance.

I have worked as an apprentice carpenter for a year and some change. Mainly framing but also custom furniture from scratch (hauling, milling, stacking). You can find the company 3 feather custom woods on facebook. Managed, head cook, handyman, tour guide at a homestay out in the middle of nowhere in the Costa Rican jungle. Love watching people do really cool things that I am totally not good at. Surfing kept me sane...100%.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I managed a home stay called La Jungla Del Jaguar in Drake Bay, Costa Rica. The property is 10 miles out from the bay residing next door to Corcovado National Park. Living in the jungle for 8 months taught me many things about myself. The opportunity brought many great people into my life for certain synchronized purposes on my journey. It supported my dream lifestyle of working and surfing....many awesome waves.

Teach, Learn, Share

Just when I think I know something, I usually have to eat a slice of humble pie. A little tart sometimes ha.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Work is always first priority. Helping around the house and keeping a clean environment is a must. I have lived with many strangers managing a home stay, providing adequate living quarters for guests and volunteers alike. I do provide for myself and dont expect any royal treatment.
