CURRENT ADVENTURE My wife Ivy and I are traveling from Morocco to Ghana from October until January. We would love to meet up along the way and learn more about you and your countries! ABOUT ME I was born on a small island in the Puget Sound, north of Seattle and homeschooled until high school. I then went to university in Seattle, living there off and on for almost 7 years. I lived in Vail afterwards, then Las Vegas and now I'm back in the Northwest splitting my time between Seattle and Orcas Island. I'm a sommelier and own a small wine shop. I love traveling and do so whenever I can. I'm easy going, curious about life and live for experiences. I have two younger sisters and a brother. We're very close. PHILOSOPHY My philosophy is evolving. I want to find peace of mind and the meaning of happiness. Whatever that may be. And I want to build a ladder to the stars and climb on every rung. And I want to always be learning. And above all I want to remember that I share a world with many other people. No right or wrong way to live. Just different ways.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I don't currently have a space to share but let me know if I can help you with anything else and I will do my best. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE This site has added a whole new dimension to the way I travel. I am a lifelong participant. Surfed/met up with couchsurfers in Ireland, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Croatia and South Africa. It completely transforms traveling and interactions.
Music, Movies, and Books
I really need to expand this list but it seems quite daunting. Lately I have been asking people who interest me to jot down the names of books and authors they have enjoyed reading. So I have lists that should keep me for some time. I do love Hemingway and Pink Floyd. And I am learning to love others. War on Drugs and Bob Dylan!
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Journeyed through Southern Africa for three months. It changed my perspective on life.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can always learn. I am willing to teach. I will share whatever I have.
What I Can Share With Hosts
A meal, a walk and an ear.
