40 y.o. outgoing, laid back dude who's in the infancy of a new life. My passion in life is connecting with people on a personal and soul level. I love getting to know new people, hearing about their journeys and sharing mine. I am in a constant state of self-evaluation and personal growth and try to be very conscious of how my presence affects the environment around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Decided to sign up because I don't really want to sleep on a cheap air mattress in my brother's spare bedroom. Plus the thought of getting to know new people is extremely exciting!

* Outdoor activities - hiking, fishing, camping.
* Personal growth opportunities and anything that pulls me out of my tightly sealed comfort zone.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing - hmmmm. I don't really consider my life to be that amazing. I guess if I had to choose any one thing I would say that helping conceive my son Jason was amazing. He is the absolute light of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Your wisdom from your life experiences to those who are brought in to your path.

Learn: Be open to absorbing the energies and knowledge of those people in your life.

Share: Love and laughter, tears and hugs. Life is a collection of moments.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A very warm personality, a listening and empathic ear, IT knowledge, and amazing hugs. I give great hug. :)

I will also be happy to contribute to the cost of water and toiletries for the amount of time that I stay.
