Just set up profile and looking to surf or host some surfers!! Surf's up.

I was born in Florida and grew up in D.C. area since I was 12. I'm an entrepreneur and avid traveler. I run a small book publishing business, work remotely, and spend much of my time in far away lands.

Trying to stay young and foolish.

Also trying to learn Spanish so I can travel more comfortably through Latin America and Spain!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I'm part of the "community"...man! I'm a fellow traveler so I get it.
