CURRENT MISSION

My horoscope says: "Be alert for the eternal as it wells up out of the mundane."

Current missions include learning to paraglide.

ABOUT ME

I'm a tall ship sailor, on and off student of ecological economics at UVM, amateur banjo player and woodworker. At the moment I'm living at my parents house in the woods of Vermont, building a sauna, building a SUP, taking guitar lessons, and looking into badass sailing opportunities for the 2017 season.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting interesting people while shoestring travelling

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I spent a few nights camping and partying with a great group of CS folks in Seattle last summer. Some of my friends here in Burlington host CS travelers frequently and they are invariably interesting and kind people.

Interests

I like old time music, fresh food, biking, awesome beer, offshore sailing, reading while drinking coffee, harmony singing, low-angle sunlight.
