About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be jobless and homeless on a budget while meeting as many locals and soaking up as much local culture as possible while travelling.

PHILOSOPHY

My life is not a dress rehearsal for anything. It is all I have, and tomorrow is not promised to me by anyone. If there are things I want to do in this world it is up to me to make them happen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed with quite a few people I met while traveling, but the best time was in Morocco. I met a guy on the ferry from Spain to Morocco and he took me back to his family in Fez. This was in the old city of Fez, and I shared a week of traditional Moroccan life with him and his family. Fantastic memories.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like funny books and movies. A good mystery also. Musically I like real live people playing real instruments well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just one??!! Sunrise over Mt Everest after an 8 day trek, SCUBA certification on the Great Barrier Reef, skydiving and bungee jumping, space shuttle launch, snowing in Jerusalem on Christmas, the Pyramids in Egypt, The Grand Canyon and other national parks. Too many more to list.

Teach, Learn, Share

Live in the present. There is nothing you can do about the past except learn from it, and the future you think you are headed toward can change drastically at any moment. Make sure you are ok with whatever you are doing today.
