About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find the tribe that travels and share lives advice from non-traditional roads.

ABOUT ME

From Alaska to Hawaii...Yellowstone to Everglade National Park...street bum to semi-hard working part of society. Life is about experiences and travel for me.

"Navigare necesse es. Vivare no es necesse."

*It is not necessary to live (we are alive). It is necessary to travel.

I am a libra, sometimes loud, always into cooking. I love good books on history and philosophy, try to speak German and miss painting. I am honest and careful...a downfall from my Pacific Northwestern roots. I like fish! I like dogs a lot!!!

PHILOSOPHY

"Goodtimes!"
"The goodtimes are killing me"
"Paradox and chaos, change and liquid-life. Perception is a bitch, so try hard but don't let the trying get you down."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I can host, I host. Feel free to contact me regarding the area we are in and if we can put you up :)!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have used craigslist before, but so many times that turned into a creep-fest, and I love hostels and the idea of open houses. It is too bad we all have to be so untrusting, so I thought I would come here and give this site a try.

Interests

hiking, kayaking, swimming, snorkeling, art, shiraz, dogs, sheep, pottery, mountains, fishing, cooking (I *heart* cooking), buying land in Alaska, making a base for visitors (hopefully a hostel in the future).
