CURRENT MISSION

To make people smile more and frown less

ABOUT ME

I have lived well and travelled much. Would be a buddhist if they would let me drink and smoke and fish. I always treat people the way I want to be treated. I am an active single father of two boys that are now 3 and 5. I am great friends with my ex. I have no enemies and am never an asshole unless I am on the ice playing hockey.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you wish to be treated

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a pretty sweet pad on 5 acres just outside of Vancouver. It has plenty of couches and rooms but just me and my boys (half the time). Kind of a waste. Willing to share until I move to Mexico in September. A few days stay is about right...not looking for a couch potato....but a surfer is cool!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have passed out on many a couch in my 38 years

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have played olympic hockey in New Zealand and played exhibition game against the All Black rugby team (they couldn't skate but were HUGE and nice guys). I have partied hard in many exotic locations through Europe and Caribbean and North America etc. Partying slowing down now with age and eventual maturity (late bloomer there)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share the art of patience and sharing and laughter and seeing things positively no matter how bleak. I wish to learn more language and culture and about the human spirit.
