Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
Lets see... I am a transient by nature with a seemingly unquenchable wanderlust. I love to meet new people and make new friends. Big fan of all kinds of music, especially live music. I am a water bug. I love being on the water, especially sailing. When visiting a new city, I would like to see what the local contemporary art scene is pumping out, as well as local musicians. When traveling, I would like to visit the local haunts, and avoid tourist traps if possible. I am interested learning about the local cultures. Not a big fan of TV. I like to try new things...including music, foods and local brews. I like to share stories, writing, music, recipes, art and experience.
PHILOSOPHY
karma... what goes around comes around. It's a good thing to keep in the back of your head.... :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Besides donating and turning a few friends on, I host travelers, bands, and share the cool stuff there is to share in this great city. Charleston is incredible! I enjoy sharing with others what people have shared with me, wonderful experiences.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have had some wonderful experiences surfing and hosting, making lifelong friends... cliff diving into waterfalls, moped rides in Rome at sunrise, bicycles in Florance during rush hour traffic, speed train rides, horseback riding through the bull farms of Spain, the bull fights and and San Fermin, Spanish sushi, Michelangelo park at sunset, best food, wines and cheeses ever! Urban rooftop permaculture development, Sailing for 10 days to anchor at "the Indians" in the VI just in time for an impromptu thanksgiving dinner and snorkeling until sunset at the reef... Exploring the natural wonders of Florida's flora and fauna... Fishing and herping, Corn liquor nights with live bluegrass and jazz in the living room. Exploring the island of PuertoRico and its diverse culture and climates and oh, the best food there is to offer down island.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I was sailing from the Atlantic into the Caribbean Sea and saw a dolphin doing flips in the water about a football field away.. next thing I knew, we were surrounded by dozens and dozens of them... several pods had converged and traveled south with us for about 45 min... It was pretty exhilarating...
