About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keep the experiences of life occurring

ABOUT ME

I am quite social. I have the potential to also be a lone wolf. Either way, I can be happy. I have some good friends. Maybe I feel like I can use some new ones lately though. Getting older is fun/scary. I love life. I've bee away a lot for quite a while. I used to travel and play guitar in a band. Now, I'm getting started in my a career as a Yacht chef. It's been an amazing season. The Caribbean is so diverse, I'm always hoping to find something new from it. I'm hooked of these flavours.

PHILOSOPHY

Be what ya gotta be. Do what ya gotta do to keep inspired. The fruit of life can not stay ripe forever so slurp it back while she's sweet, tasty and healthful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I usually stay in hostels or cheap hotels whole traveling, but I think it's often rewarding to stay with people while away. Also, I love to cook so this is usually popular behaviour...

don't mind hosting people but I haven't had my own place in some years.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

7 years of touring in a band, that'll do it.

Interests

Smart people, but not TOO smart. I am a big fan of birds, Amphibians, sunsets, the ocean, good beer, beaches, jungles, mountains, cities that are cool, food that is awesome, bands that are doing a good job, good times, laughing, debating issues, writing, biking, recycling, composting, growing a beard and maybe shaving it one day.

Music, Movies, and Books

Wayne's World, Death By Stereo, National Geographic

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spotted a Philippine Trogan recently. That was sweet.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ok, the pressure is on. I think that toilets all over the world are different. It's not always easy to accept that, and indeed often difficult to embrace them and enjoy them to their full potential. Sometimes, it even feels impossible to adapt. I have learned though, that it is absolutely necessary to utilize these marvellous creations. The other options are either illegal, unhealthful, or just way too uncomfortable. Adaptation is key.
