I travel as much as my business and budget will allow. I love my Catholic faith, and my travel always includes some element of pilgrimage to churches, shrines, or other holy places.

In my everyday life, I run a company that coordinates pilgrimages for young people to encounter Christ. Evenings are given to charitable causes or spent with a good book. Weekends I can be found hiking, camping, or playing at the beach. I used to teach Pilates, and may take it up again. I have a dog named Lulu that I take on adventures with me whenever possible.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I love to travel, and I love talking to strangers - until they aren't strangers anymore! Couchsurfing is the best way to combine the two, don't you think?

Centres d'intérêt

FAITH - Learning, loving, and living for Christ through his Mother with his Church.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

MUSIC: Truly love everything. Favorites are 1940s standards, outlaw/red-dirt/folk country, bluegrass, punk rock/alt rock, blues, jazz, and almost anything featuring an accordion

MOVIES: Anything with a great story. Especially love foreign independent films.

BOOKS: I am an addict. I read at least two books a week. Most of my collection is classic fiction, though lately I'm trying to read more narrative non-fiction and biography.
