Overview
About Me
I am now living nomadic life so am unable to host.
CURRENT MISSION
I am writing Act 4 of my life, traveling the world to hang out with and document the activities and passions of people living at high vibrations of love, unity and deep connection with Mother Earth. I currently have a lovely, spiritually lit FilAm travel playmate traveling with me. SE Asia and Mexico are our likely destinations for the first half of 2025
ABOUT ME
I am a mongrel mix of preppie/townie/hippie with a entrepreneur/adventurer streak where I feel comfortable in just about any situation. I have been living in Naples, FL since kindergarten as a snowbird (consider Provincetown, MA to be my hometown) spent 10 years in Chicago until 1985 then full time in Naples since. I really enjoy good conversation with soulful people on a wide variety of topics and always am looking to expand my sense of community. I enjoy sharing recipes with anyone who would like to teach and learn how to create delicious options in a healthy lifestyle.
PHILOSOPHY
Existence is the great miracle. Clearly there is an organizing force in the universe of that creates order out of chaos where unity, harmony and evolving order are the highest guiding principles. Unfortunately, human nature tends to get in the way of realizing that we are living in the Garden of Eden.
Any belief that separates us has nothing to do with God. And I have little notion of God other than All that Is.
Life has no inherent meaning or purpose. It is simply an opportunity... to create meaning and discover purpose. Or is it discover meaning and create purpose??? As long as it is life fully lived, we can ask for little more.
Live and act mindful of future generations. I enjoy following Stoic and Taoist philosophy.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Open hearted connection, listening, love and graciousness, learning how to receive as well as I know how to give, and just enjoying the swirling tapestry of colorful humanity. If you are looking for a heavy party scene, beer pong, etc. I suggest you inquire elsewhere. I like to get up early, have a breakfast of fresh local fruit and rich coffee, and then see what the day has to offer. I enjoy people who are mellow, thoughtful and conscious.
I built out a camper van and plan to continue to spend several months each year traveling all over North America connecting with Couchsurfers for information on how best to enjoy and explore their region. I plan to start a travel blog ther documents my travels to reveal the deep heart and soul of beautiful places around the world.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have really enjoyed the people I have hosted, surfed, and hung out with and I am looking forward to traveling to meet others in the wonderful CS community. It does take a special type of person to jump into this, and I find the open and adventurous qualities that seem to be the essential traits of CSers to be most appealing.
Interests
Biking, walks on the beach, nature, authenticity, connection, community, and ethnic veggie cooking. Love to travel and hike. Especially love mountains, continuous learning, and expressing gratitude in every moment for the amazing gift of existence.

Music, Movies, and Books
Enjoy Sam Harris - End of Faith - and Richard Dawkins - The Ancestors Tale and others. I enjoy a wide range of music, probably world fusion as a favorite, and anything that makes me want to lose myself in dance. Currently going metaphysical with Abraham Hicks’ Law of Attraction and Sarah Landon’s York are a Channel.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I went treasure hunting for two summers and found 1715 Spanish treasure...Made video travel guides for five years (fun!)... Owned and programmed a local TV station for eight years...But the most amazing thing was a wild dolphin encounter in the Bahamas where I was greeted by two alpha males in a most amazing ritual in 40 feet of water, but this is a story that will be shared when we meet. I enjoy the teachings of Eckhert Tolle and the Power of Now. I may one day finish a book I started 20 years ago on tapping into the Flow that is the Oneness of All.
Teach, Learn, Share
Enjoy talking and learning about world religions, spirituality, environment, parenting and community building.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Good stories, cooking, and a joie de vie.
