About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live in a high manner on a low budget!

ABOUT ME

Practical dreamer, realistic romantic, problem solver.

I spend much of the year in Northern Italy (near Lake Como), and welcome CouchSurfers. If you are looking to surf in Milan but are getting tired of big cities, consider the Lake District -- it is wonderful!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think couch surfing is a great concept and of great benefit not only to younger folks, but also anyone of any age who enjoys meeting travelers.

I participate by hosting folks.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had many CSers last summer and the beginning of this year and it has been great.

I have lots of family and friends visiting this summer so space is limited. However, you can always ask. Even if I can't host you, I may be able to show you around for a few hours.

Interests

People, food, music, boating, architecture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Horseback riding in the Ecuadorian Andes as a teenage exchange student

- Looking out over the Swiss Alps from the Piz Gloria, Schilthorn, above Murren

- Boating on Lake Como and viewing its incredible beauty

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you one song on either the guitar, ukulele, or mandolin. In good weather I can share a boat ride.
