Father of 3 independent adult kids, divorced and happy, professional though semi retired, don't smoke, drink little, long done trying substances, but I am not a goodie two shoes. My life philosophy is about Respect, Tolerance, and Acceptance.

Living in Jimbaran on Bali, also called South Kuta, just south of the airport, but it’s not the overcrowded wild Kuta tourist area which is just north of the airport. It’s peaceful here and away from the riff raff. 😎

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I hitch hiked and back packed around the globe for over 5 years during the 1980ties, picking up various seasonal jobs in many places along the way which kept my travel bug afloat, and having received so much good will and free hospitality all over the world, it is time for me to give back. Already, I pick up every genuine hitch hiker whenever possible, but offering overnight comfort I have not yet done much while my kids were small. Now my kids are adults so it's time for me to give back a little more. My couch is welcoming the new generation of genuine world surfing back packers!

Teach, Learn, Share

With age comes experience n knowledge, so some people seek and appreciate my ability as a life coach, but I don't impose that onto anyone.

What I Can Share with Hosts
