PLEASE note that i am NOT IN NEW YORK CITY but in northville ny in the adirondack mountains and then only FROM JUNE TILL NOVEMBER.

i will accept guests in my home in new york's adirondack mountains between june and november.
I love meeting new friends and having them visit me in the adirondack mountains during the summer. it is an extremely beautiful part of the world.
i have traveled to 63 countries and lived and worked in 22.
i have lived on a boat for 12 years and sailed across the atlantic twice.
just became a grandfather and have two sons 28 and 18.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to meet new friends and experience more than a tourist's view of countries.
