Life's short...... go where you wanna go....do what you wanna do.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy traveling and I enjoy helping people visiting in the Maryland/Washington DC area when I'm home. I do keep a boat on the Chesapeake Bay that I'm on a lot in the summer and can be used to stay on .... or we can go sailing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most of mine has been on moving couches......sailboats......lol.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Traveling the Sepik River in Papua New Guinea was the trip of a lifetime for me. We were aboard the 120 foot ketch "Infinity" and traveled 300 miles up the river, visiting many villages(nose piercings, crocodile backs) and seeing a lot of artwork(carvings, masks). The people are unbelievably friendly.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Sailing......I have 30+ years sailing experience .... owned boats including a Hunter 34 for a very long time and now I help other people with their travels by sail, whether it be coastal cruising or crossing an ocean. I have crossed both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and have logged more than 25k blue water miles. ...... I also have a lot of fly fishing experience and have taught Bahamian bonefish guides how to cast a fly rod. Diving?? .. I'm certified advanced PADI but you had better go find a certified instructor.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Lots of travel stories, a friendly conversation, an interested ear, and a bottle of wine.
