Currently traveling around the U.S. (lol, I like to say I’m “on tour”)

Did a lil time with the navy(8years)....then went and put that G.I. Bill to use(bachelors in business).....since I’ve been keeping afloat trading stock on the open market....

Pretty much always game for some shenanigans....though these days it’s also quite nice to share a bottle of wine and philosophize about how close to 1984 we are today.....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a solo traveler....it’s nice to embed oneself....to see how people actually live....much better than hotel living.

Ask me about the first time I jumped(fell) out of a plane

Teach, Learn, Share

For difficult percentages, you can invert the two numbers.......for example “12% of 25”....(which I’d need a calculator to figure out) is the same as “25% of 12”.....which is much more manageable 12....6....3!

Also...you might be tying your shoes wrong....I’ll show ya what I mean.....
