Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the opportunity to share hospitality and have the space to do it. I also like traveling, meeting new people, and seeing a different side of a place.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite is folksy music... bluegrass, old timey, Irish. But I like a wide variety. WYSO, the local public radio station, is the soundtrack to my weekends. It is usually playing in my living room all weekend long.

I'm not a huge movie buff, but I enjoy everything from documentaries to rom coms.

Again, varied tastes, but recently enjoying memoirs. I'm always reading something... or a few something's.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Met President Barack Obama in the Oval Office. Not planning to visit the Oval Office anytime again soon.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I'd love to teach you about what is great in Dayton, and what's not so great. I love it here, but for me work I work with the homeless population, so I get to see both sides of the city.

Learn: anything you want to teach me!

Share: let's share a cuppa tea and stories about where we've been and where we're going.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a queen bed available in a private room that has a half bath attached to it. You are welcome to utilize the other common areas of the house. I'd be happy to show you around Dayton if you are interested. There are some great metroparks, a growing brewery scene, and lots of friendly folks.

Countries I’ve Visited
