About Me

Usually I'm in Bahia Kino (Kino Bay) or San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico from October through April each year, then traveling the US in the summer. My current location on this site might not be correct for this reason.

I lived and hosted many folks while I lived at my place in Keauu, Hawaii ending June 2015. My primary residence is now a 36' motorhome, I travel the northern US states and Canada over the summers, then head to the beach in Mexico over the winter months. I have my dog Lucy and cat Monkey with me.

I'd soon like to make a trip going to Merida, Yucatan. The loose plan is to stay each location one week, and to drive 6 hours between locations. I'd like a female travel partner for this adventure - one that we both click and so not platonic. I have a SUP, windsurfer, my flying machine (PPG), etc, so maybe lots to do along the way. I also have to keep in reliable internet access to continue to run my business, so if you also had online work, etc. that would be fine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
