About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live life..........

ABOUT ME

I am a biologist when I am too poor to travel. I work aboard commercial fishing vessels monitoring catch and incidental takes of protected and endangered species. My work can take me to sea for long periods of time and I have worked out of Dutch Harbor/Alaska, Honolulu, the southeast US, and Canada.

PHILOSOPHY

I haven't found the answers yet and I keep finding new questions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by hosting whenever possible(not often enough), hopefully surfing when I get some time off, and telling people about it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I bounce around a lot so I have slept on a lot of couches. As far as the CS world goes i am just getting started.

Interests

The ocean and all its contents. The natural world. People, places, customs, ideas.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went on a catholic(even though im not a catholic) pilgrimmage, walking 500 miles across Spain from France to Santiago de Compestella and then to the ocean.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to juggle but only balls(still working on knives, pins, torches etc...)

I would love to learn more languages, a musical instrument, and how to sail properly.
