I am an explorer by heart. When I travel I like to become part of the community around me. Live like the locals. I look to the moon when I can to send positive vibes to my family and friends who live away from me. I have grown children and I now live in South Western Ontario.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get to know the people of the country were I am staying. I want to talk about current events, ask questions and make friends that I will be-able to stay in contact with once my trip is over.

As a traveler, I really appreciated the hosts an wanted to extent that feeling to other travelers. I cannot host often, but really enjoy the time I spend with Couchsurfers.
If you have any questioned about the city, ask away. If I can't host, I can still help.

Interests

I love aquarium fish, I had multiply tanks over years. My oldest fish was an African Ciclid named Stephan, he died at 14 years old. I like nature, horses and beer. I love dancing and snorkeling and long haul travel. This is funny but I really like doing laundry; the hanging on a line, the folding. I find it meditative.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy most types of music, international, blues, jazz, classical, bluegrass and am always willing to hear something new. Live music is a real pleasure be it a pub or big festival...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I couldn't just name one. I see most people can't. Ha Ha

Swimming at the Sea Organ in Zadar was a dream come true. We climbed the highest peak in Teddy Roosevelt National Park to watch the sun set, I have snorkeled at Molokini Crater in Hawaii, off shore in Cozumel, Mexico and at 5 Mile Marker off Key West.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach compassion and understanding, learn all you can and share only the best you have to offer. Ask good questions and be an active listener.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have been here for a few years now and have a feel for attractions and events in the area. I can do some driving and the beach is less than 2 km away.

Countries I’ve Visited

Bahamas, Croatia, France, Italy, Mexico, Scotland, United Kingdom, United States, Wales
