About Me

I'm a traveling sailor working all around the world and between boats I like to return to the land to see the hills and trees and enjoy the presence of strangers. I am a neat and considerate individual who enjoys the company of fun loving people and those who seek to know the world as a whole. I pretty much have a PHD in doing dishes and can cook healthy meals for any time of the day. I'm great with pets and generally love animals and wildlife. I frequent hills and trails wherever I go. The ocean in my medium for life so any water sports that don't require tons of gear are on my to do list.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Between bunks on boats a traveling sailor sometimes need a good ol' couch. I have relied on the hospitality of strangers most of my life and reciprocated in great kindness.

Interests

I love most things to do with either the sea, the hills & forrest and music. I also like seeing new cultures and ways of life. Most things I do I tie in with an eye for conservation and simply enjoy things for their natural beauty.
