I am a friendly and open minded, conscious man; I like clear relationships and good boundaries, and also plenty of wild fun and lively play. I am a divorced father, with a teenage son and a daughter who livewith me half-time. Good conversation is a big part of my life, so you can usually draw me in to listen and discuss any subject; I also value mindful silence and simple presence with people.

I like all sorts of ethnic food, so I study cuisine by cooking and eating out. I am a nature lover who is up for adventure on trails, off trails, and in water. I enjoy playing sports, especially soccer, and listening or dancing to good music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been hosting and surfing for years, but this will help me with planning my solo travels and offering a space to more travelers. It's so much better to stay on homes than hotels!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share adventures in farmers' markets, cooking and eating delicious food with people; visiting and working together in gardens and farms, and walking the natural outdoors to study plants and ecosystems. I teach and study various forms of therapeutic bodywork, as well as yoga and t'ai chi chu'an, am eager to share and learn.
