Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy people and interacting with them. My life is enriched by the diversity and uniqueness of each individual.
Would like to be a host, I believe; and, soon a traveler, again.
Just discovered “Couchsurfing” from a Swiss miss we met and gave a ride to. We also gave her a guest room to spend the night in. She was very nice and it was interesting and very enjoyable visiting with her. My wife and would like to be able to do this for others.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy a wide variety of music, with a heavy leaning towards late ‘50s-‘70s rock n roll.
I like many movies that run the gamut from Silents to Today’s.
Books: biographies; histories; alternative history/sci-fi.
