ABOUT ME

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I rather dislike spending bucks on hotels and TV channel surfing when I could instead be chatting with a new acquaintance and learning from their perspective. Hopefully others feel the same way and will feel welcomed and comfortable in my home...when I am able to host. (current digs are not suitable for overnight guests)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have "officially" surfed twice and "officially" hosted three folks for a few days. Although I have unofficially surfed or hosted for years.

Interests

Reasoned, tactful conversation about many things, critters, cycling (when able), volunteering, curious about world events and geo-politics , physics, aviation, soothing music, eating clean ......
