About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore and see as much of the world while experiencing local cultures as I can while the life and the means exist!

ABOUT ME

*** MANY NEW BCN PICTURES 29JAN09 ***
I have lived a unique life unlike anyone else.
I have lived on and around the water my whole life.
I lived on a sailboat in The Bahamas for 5 years.
I have circumnavigated the world on a ship.
I eat, sleep, breathe, and love the ocean.

Look at what I do, where I have been, the words I use, activities I enjoy, and it will give you a glimpse of the inner surface. There is much more a small txt box or regular co-worker will never be able to understand. I am methodical. Everything I do has a purpose whether you are enlightened enough to see it or not. I am an open book for others to read and write in. I accept people for who they are, even if it is a jerk. Just means I dont have to like you. LoL J/K IDK what else to say really... say hi and find out.

PHILOSOPHY

I am not complex. Through the murky direction of life I find peacefulness and relaxation in the simplest of things. Watching a sunrise or sunset on the ocean is the greatest escape! There are never two alike.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am brand new and learning as I go. I'm sure this will develope over time. My travels around the world expose me to many different cultures. WHy not integrate as much as I can?

I am collecting great stories of my adventures around the globe. I need more to pass on and especially to tell my grand children if/when they are ever old enough to pay attention to me. (no i dont have grand kids or my own kids yet)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well I have met people and crashed at their pad in the Philippines, Singapore, Portugal, Italy and a few places in the states. Non of this was using CS, but I bet it would have been easier if I had. LoL

Interests

Anything to do with the oceans, athletics, sports, diverse cultures, yummy foods, music, exploring, and great adventure! I also have a strange nack for photography! :-) Check out some of my pics... more to come.
