About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be happy and free and share with others.

ABOUT ME

I try to be at peace with life, to accept what is and enjoy myself. Try not to take anything too seriously. I like to try things, to get a rush from getting outside my comfort zone, feeling the butterflies and nerves.

I like to relax and enjoy, I like my sleep. Love learning, podcasts, books on tape, documentaries. I like to exercise, jog on the beach, sprints on hills, pull-ups, dips, climb rope etc.

I don't party all the time like many travelers I meet. I don't drink much. It doesn't mean I never do, just not often. I prefer the beach, exercise, exploring trails, waterfalls.

I like to meet genuinely kind people who choose to focus about what they're excited about and thankful for.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a game, play. Don't take life too seriously, nobody gets out alive.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmm, how to choose, and how to put into words. The San Juan Islands and Thailand come to mind, just moments. Also, I was a batboy for a minor league baseball team when they got to play in Seattle at the Kingdome, so I got in the clubhouse and got to hang out with all the Mariners. Also have been to Antarctica.

Teach, Learn, Share

My background is in real estate and running a flea market, I also made a board game, so I know a little about a lot. I run a couple websites so all my work is online now. I can teach you how to throw a curveball, lift weights, surf, kayak, speak english, etc.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If I have time, I can show you some beaches, viewpoints, go surfing, etc.
