About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get my shit together

ABOUT ME

I was an exchange student to Australia, kind of the ultimate in couch surfing really. It was way back in 1986, the whole year. I was very fortunate I had a great host family and it was an amazing life experience. I also lived in Hawaii for 4 years. I grew up in California. I have lived all over the United States. I have ridden my, motorcyle driven my truck and flown over most of it. I have seen a large portion of the United States and looking forward to seeing some more of the rest of the world.

PHILOSOPHY

I try not to take every thing too seriously, and remeber it can always be worse. Also try not to use more then my share, a tough one as an american, we have so much, its great.

By being a good host and a good guest.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have gotten the oportunity to be a host a few times and I find I like it very much. New people who are intelligent and well rounded with a lot of faith in the human race.
I have also enjoyed surfing some couches and find it to be an amazing way to travel.

Interests

ABOUT ME
My favorite subject, well almost. I'm a bit of a motorcycle enthusiast. doing that for 20 years now. not sure where the time went. I also like fast cars, fast motorcycles goes without saying. I also have a pilets license, fast airplanes are really cool, but very expensive, I still like them though. I like traveling as well, who doesn't. I like most people, I tend to get along really well with the one's who think for themselves and live there own lives.
