About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm a firm believer in the golden rule, Do unto others as you would have done unto you. How's your Karma?
My life is good, very little stress. I have what I want and plus more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My couch surfing started many years ago long before the creation of this website. I would get in my little LeCar and travel down the highways of the Midwest in America to see my friends and relatives. Sometimes there would be a nice cozy bed with fresh linens for me to sleep in. Other times I slept on lumpy, scratchy couches or even on the floor (sans the airmattress). I have even sleep outdoors in a park on a picnic table. That was probably the roughest. The point was not about where I slept but spending time with my friends and seeing their world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies-I have developed a fondness for stupid humor movies, such as American Pie, Adam Sandler movies, Scary Movie, etc. I like some sci-fi (Star Wars & Matrix).
Music-I usually listen to top 40 in US. Don't like too much modern rap (I like some of the old school 80's originals, though).
Books-I like to read biographies and autobiographies. I mostly read educational material, religion, travel, motivational type books. I have never really got into fiction novels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've skydived and have ridden in a hot air balloon. I drove to the top of Pike's Peak in Colorado. During the drive my cousin and I almost had a panic attack. We did not know what we were getting ourselves into.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to relax.
