I’ve been a surfer for over 10 years. It’s how I met my wife! We met 9 years ago and we’re married in 2018. We traveled overseas for four years making wine, and doing construction projects and learning about other cultures. We thrive on travel, meeting new people ,experiencing new cultures and learning as much as we can.

I enjoy being outside.
Back country camping is where I reset.
I love listening to audiobooks, being perpetually interested by individual's , societies , economies, Philosophies and what makes them who they are.

I enjoy the exchange of stories, experience, wisdom, insight and knowledge. I enjoy genuine connection in conversation.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

My best friend and his wife went on a couch surfing journey for over a year and convinced me to join in 2012.

From 2017 - now, my wife and I have mostly used her profile!

We love meeting new people learning new things.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Dropping a stable job and lifestyle to chase a woman I didn’t want to loos , to the other side of the world to win her heart.

It worked!

I’ve been blessed to hear the story's of old and Young, great and infamous, rich and poor, the famous and unknown , the slow and steady, the fast and dangerous, monks, warriors and my grand father.

Received undeserved Grace .

教，学，和分享

About making wine!

Construction proses.

I am genuinely interested in hearing others story and learning from what life has taught them.

We have both been shaped incredibly by the love of others.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I pay for drinks in exchange for stories!

I’ve worked as a massage therapist during our travels and If you’re feeling sore, have aches or just need to relax I would be glad to give you a massage.

A listing ear.

Maybe chocolate as well!
