On the business side, I have a background in the startup world, and am traveling while I consider how to proceed with potentially new partners interested in participating in my new ventures.

On the personal side, I'm single, straight, relatively fit as I enjoy exercise and eating well. I like to meditate for 20-30 minutes in the mornings, don't believe that criticism benefits people, and like to have fun and laugh and read and watch up lifting things. I probably listen more than I talk when in a social situation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the compassion and kindness that I see in public, especially among people who are traveling together. It seems like it brings out the best in people, and I really enjoy that.

I like meeting new friends and seeing new perspectives in life. I've heard good things about couch-surfing and want to give it a shot.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love Tones and I, Sia and that more modern stuff, but also enjoy Queen, AC/DC and classic rock. For books I try to read uplifting stuff, Dickens and Jane Austin are fun. Roald Dahl I think his name is...Love his softly odd humor. Harry Potter and all that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I built and sold a startup

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not much for teaching, and enjoy people just as they are. I love encountering a new vital energy in others. I love the spontaneous interactions of strangers doing good by each other.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am an decent cook and am alway available to help with cleaning and whatever other work needs done while I am around.
