I've lived too long to summarize! Lived in the Bay Area (mostly Oakland) most of my life (except for 5 years in Tokyo). My work interest is in regenerative farming, and healthy soils - and small scale intensive farms. My paying work before I retired was as a software product manager (real estate, project management)
At one point was fluent in Japanese, but that was long ago... Most recent travel was 5 weeks wandering about France, April-May 2019. Walked between small towns, Trains for longer distances. Wonderful!

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing

Curious. Seems like a good way to experience 'living in' a place, rather than just traveling through. I suspect I will stay in small hotels, AirBnB, etc., mostly when I travel, but also will try couchsurfing. I'll host people in Oakland, on occasion, as a way to meet people I wouldn't otherwise.

Muzyka, filmy i książki

I've played guitar (and sung) in a few bands, and currently am writing songs. Love Brazilian music, Jazz and, of course, the Beatles (since that's the music I came of age with)
