About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To cut down the human population by half.....wait....did I say that outloud?

ABOUT ME

Old School sicilian punk rocker turned traveler, chef, artist, writer, back-country adventure/kayak tour-guide, devout Anarchist, veg-head, organic dirt-monger, kick-back, mellow dude with an intense, passionate edge. I Love hanging out with new, interesting people. I LOVE to cook awesome, organic, healthy food! I prefer small gatherings over large crowds.
I surf, hike, camp, surf, kayak, surf, swim, dive, surf,....And, I especially Love to surf!....Did I mention surfing?....Yeah, I Love that! Currently not surfing, due to a broken rib from a punk show. I moved from Kaua’i to Maui in March, 2023. I lived on Kaua’i for over 20 years. I was out of commission on CS for some years, but now stoked to be hosting travelers.

I'm ALWAYS down for a new adventure!

PHILOSOPHY

NEVER get into a battle of wits with a Sicilian, especially when death is on the line...Live your Life as if each moment was your last....Believe half of what you see, and NOTHING of what you hear.....Cherish those that Love you, and forget those that don't....Treat others as you want to be treated....GO THERE!.....Resistance is Fertile!....Stay young 'til you're dead.....resist much, obey little.....Go BIG or go home!....Take risks!....If it ain't fun, it's done...If ya can't beat 'em, try harder!.....The clock is always ticking....Fuck the rules, play well!...Yo! Pass that shit, Fool!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Besides the fact that I've hosted almost 300 CSers (some from this site....some not), I have a really comfy couch in a cool, small house in Kula (Upcountry), Maui. My place is clean and cozy, with good smells and vibes a' plenty! If you're lucky, I may create some delicious "Ohgawdness" for you in my kitchen. ;-) Please, DON'T BRING PETS OR UNEXPECTED GUESTS.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had to couch surf much. Traveling through France, and Italy (Sicily, mostly), many people would invite me to stay in their homes. But, I've mostly stayed with family, friends, or in hostiles.
Most of the CSers that I've hosted, however, have been THE coolest!.....MOST.

Interests

I Love creating Art, Music, literature, and Food. I'm a total outdoorsman. I Love to surf, hike, camp, dive, swim, kayak, and just hang out. I'm a BIG movie buff! Dinner and a movie at home is my prefered nightlife. But, I often make it out amongst the people. Mi piace good herbs....CHOCOLATE...and, good times!
