I am a computer nerd by trade. I love travel, my family and my two dogs

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find travelers are always the best company, whether or not I am traveling at the time

Interests

I've been learning a lot with this renovation, so I'm always interested in anything tradecrafty. I'm also beginning to find an interest in growing things - I planted trees this spring, and the property is an enjoyable work in progress.
I've only been riding for a few years, so I feel like there is still a lot to learn about bikes.
