PHILOSOPHY

Keep it simple. Be kind to yourself, and try to only make small changes and improvements...

Flow more, take what the universe is giving and offering you.

Be grateful for what you have.

Be very careful and patient.

Silence is golden

Don't throw rocks when you live in a glass house.

I used to read alot of alternative medicine books....

Nowadays, i read strictly non fiction.......I don't read much anymore.........I read on the internet....

I read about practical topics like anatomy, computer instruction, how to fix things, patents, inventing, yoga, nutrition..

I read books i can trust are really the truth.

Since the internet, around 2000, Ive been only watching short movies online.......But i will go with a friend...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I still find the computer, the cellphone, the beach and the vegetable garden to be amazing things.

Going to the beach, jumping into the freezing cold water, sunbathing in the hot sun right after, listening to the waves
is still amazing .

I lived in India with the people for 90 days in early 2016........I suffered alot, but that was amazing...

Teach, Learn, Share

I always want to improve my carpentry, handyman and martial arts skills, homesteading, knowledge of nature and gardening.

I can share spanish, massage, natural food prep, yoga, meditation, pool shooting and martial arts instruction.....

I can take you to lake Catherine.......

I can take you to the bars.......Im not much of a drinker, but i love to hang out at bars and shoot pool......

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will share my very safe apartment with you, located near the police precinct and near everything..

I will take you to Lake Catherine..... I go almost every day.

You can use my Macbook and my boombox speaker, while you stay with me...... A great bicycle is at your disposal..
