About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel all over South East Asia and India seeking out adventure, enlightenment and friendly faces.

ABOUT ME

I'm a relaxed guy who likes to read and play guitar when I'm not working. I live up in some beautiful vineyards and I enjoy hiking around them and sitting on my porch watching the summer go by. I love outgoing people who are here to have fun and help each other out.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm here to enjoy my life and not get bent out of shape when things get difficult. There's no such thing as too much laughter. I love to take time for myself just to sit and think. Life is too short to stay angry. Be fluid.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I go to numerous events with Sonoma County Couchsurfers and Parties at Basecamp in San Francisco.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been a host for some of the coolest people ever. Couchsurfing continually reaffirms my faith in humanity and community. I have never surfed as a guest with someone else. I hope to do so soon.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to the top Spire in the Sagrada Familia Church in Spain and looked out over the city. I ate sushi off of the Red Square in Moscow. I ate spectacular Fois Gras at the 20th Are. in Paris. I flew to Mount Shasta in a tiny plane. I lit fireworks off for 4 days in a row in the back of a school parking lot in Otofuke, Japan. Went to Burning Man 2008. WOW! And Burning Man 2009 Double WOW!! And Burning Man 2010, 2011, 2013(anyone sense a pattern developing?)

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn anything that can make me a better guitar player or cook.
