CURRENT MISSION

Exploring Alaska

ABOUT ME

I really enjoy traveling whenever I have the opportunity. I believe that we should do what we can when we can. Whether it is a flight overseas or a road trip through South Central, AK or the Midwest of my "old country." I try to be out and about as much as possible. That is whenever, I'm not working. During the work year, I enjoying being in the this small town city. Listening to live music at local venues is a favorite as well a bicycling around town. On weekends, I enjoy my cup of coffee.

PHILOSOPHY

My bumper sticker reads: "Live the live you love." I try to let this adage guide me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed on a few couches as well as hosted several surfers over the course of a few years. I enjoy entertaining as well as guiding travelers through the area.
