About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Build self sufficency

ABOUT ME

I use to travel for work, now I'm married to a French woman so I get to goto France often, but I'm missing out on the rest of the world, I'm hoping to host and live vicariously through you! Come and visit.

PHILOSOPHY

Let the universe flow, and try to not incumber it in any way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to spread the word, I love it when I get a friend who has never tried it before to do such. It's such and eye opening experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A gal I met in Scotland let me stay with her in Spain, her and her Grandmother. Her Grandma's cooking was to DIE for... Then she took me up the coast to Cadaques and Portilagat? I was never treated so well. Freedom to Catalan. (sorry Spain)

Interests

Shit, I like everything, from mountain climbing, too drag racing, reading, to snowboarding, biking and blading, eating, and hiking, drinking, and typing, cooking and dancing. And most of all, gettin out of the country.

Music, Movies, and Books

The list is endless. Personal favorites book wise include items by Carlos Casteneda, and Hunter S. Thompson, Barbara Brennan, Robert Bruce, David Pinchbeck, Michael Ruppert. Music, I happen to like it all, but find a special place in my heart for Jazz, especially cuban and latin.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
