ABOUT ME I'm a friendly, laid back fellow who loves to meet new folks! I have a 30-foot sailboat in a great location in Long Beach, California. If you're not familiar with sailboats, the accommodations are not luxury, but certainly cozy and all of my guests have enjoyed their stay so far! My boat is a 1975 Catalina 30, and she's got a wonderful motor and a good genoa sail for adventures on the water. If I am around to host, I usually end up sailing with guests. A good friend of mine has another boat about 50 meters from mine, which adds to the fun as well when he's around!

CURRENT MISSION To get out and explore. ABOUT ME I love hearing people’s stories, trying new foods, seeing remnants of ancient civilizations, understanding how history has shaped culture and meeting cats from other countries. PHILOSOPHY Live in the moment. Be honest with yourself. Take responsibility for your actions. Try not to hold on to too many things. Be kind. Make good decisions. Be yourself :-)

I have been hosting backpackers since 2008, but I am having difficulty navigating this new interface. Recent couch surfers have posted references and I don't know how to post a reference in return. I am inundated with requests, so I usually give priority to requests from couch surfers in countries where I plan to travel, especially if they can host me. It helps if your profile is original, well written and thorough and you have read my profile. I have been adding to mine since I joined CS so it is quite long. Some of you may choose to blast cut and paste requests but I suggest you instead make requests to hosts who have an active account after you read their profile. My response rate is usually over 95% but it's dropping under the new system until I can figure out how to respond. Couchsurfing is supposed to be a sharing community, so I give preference to couch surfers who have also been hosts, especially if I plan to travel to their country. I have a difficult time connecting with a host unless I have hosted them. Anyone can unlock my Yahoo and Facebook accounts and recover my data their request is accepted. I also give reference to anyone who can or help me with the extra bike I'm building for couch surfers to use. I travel light with a backpack and appreciate backpackers who don't scatter their belongings randomly and keep their luggage closed. I have travel benefits so I fly standby and occasionally take a companion. Kudos to anyone who actually reads my profile but it's not a hard and fast rule. POLITICS and PHILOSOPHY Neo-Marxist Revisionist Marxism for the 21st century, peaceful evolution, not violent revolution; Eco-socialist, secular humanist. I am a devout atheist. I believe in science; the Big Band/Big Crunch, especially now that the James Webb telescope has discovered galaxies beyond our universes older than our baby universe. I suspect there are evolved beings so far beyond humanity that we cannot perceive or comprehend them. Those who sense them peripherally often revere them as deities. I was an Army brat and grew up on various Army bases in Japan, Oregon, Texas, Hawaii and Washington State; traveling is in my blood. I'm a political radical, science fiction fan and futurist thinker. I am waiting for the post human, technological singularity, (if I live long enough)... 🖖 As a teenager I earned my own money. I played in 'The Swingteens', I was a paperboy delivering the Tacoma News Tribune. I mowed lawns, shoveled snow, etc. At home I was required to do chores. My father believed in 'spare the rod, spoil the child'. I was expected to earn my keep. It taught me discipline and responsibility. I am a veteran and served in Vietnam; my various careers are musician, mediator, teacher, parole agent, and flight attendant. The career I loved the most was an international flight attendant. I was also a supervisor and manager for two supplemental (unscheduled) charter airlines. I traveled all over the world transporting passengers to exotic locations, prisoner flights, emergency disaster relief, evacuating refugees from war zones, transporting US troops and United Nations Peacekeepers.

I grew up poor, bullied, and in the worst parts of Los Angeles. I didn't think Traveling would be possible thus why I'm so grateful to be doing this life experience.

If you ever visit Los Angeles, California in the USA, I will gladly show you some of the best Mexican food of your life! I HOST BOTH IN LOS ANGELES AND WHEN I TRAVEL: A. Currently in the process of getting an apartment. I will be living by Koreatown (Safe area between downtown and Hollywood). I am happy to host multiple people. All I ask in return is you help us with the cooking and you're in. B. When I travel, I’m able to assist any fellow traveler with hotel accommodations. If there is space, you are welcome to share the hotel room with me. You get treated like a king when you stay with me :). Free breakfast, free drinks, great Hilton Diamond perks. I can only invite up to 3 lucky individuals and all I ask in return is to be interactive, fun, open, and be ready to share tons of stories. I CAN NOT STAND FREE LOADERS! I say this because I have invited so many people in the past and they disappear after taking advantage. No communication, no reference made, its as if they wanted nothing with me after that.

I am on a nationwide book and speaking tour that has taken me to all 50 states. I am very friendly, fun and neat. I am on the road 300 days per year promoting my newest comedy book. It is about 6,000 years of history as told by a guy who missed the first 5,960 something years. To sum up the world: People fought...let's eat.
