I dedicated the first part of my life to a high pressure career. Then it was time for a change.
I am now living on a little farm in the middle of nowhere with my wife and kids (two teenage boys). I like to learn and do new things. I like to cook and bake (I bake sourdough bread for a farmers market). I like to grow as much of my own food as I can.
I am worried about where the world is going, but I try to stay positive and to do whatever I can to change it for the better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While staying at a hostel in Alicante, one person brought up the subject of couchsurfing, a concept I didn't know about. So I signed up in order to discover it.

Interests

Good quality food, both making and eating.
Tinkering, fixing things.
Animals, I have a hobby farm with four cows, a donkey, geese, chicken, guinea hens, two goats, four cats and two dogs.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like watching independent movies that are outside the main distribution channels. Books are dangerous for me; when I get into a good book I get totally absorbed by it and nothing else gets done. Music? Yes all kinds, classic, modern, I'm just terrible with remembering the artists names.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the opportunity to visit the Galapagos islands and I was blows away by what I saw.

Teach, Learn, Share

Every day I learn something new, and if anyone wants a piece of what I gathered, I am happy to share. Life should not be a competition but a journey together.
