About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to meet people that understand "all is one" and to make global connections. I love experiencing local cultures and am also looking for a place abroad to at least "semi-retire".

ABOUT ME

I feel I have led a fulfilling life to this point and have had many great experiences which have brought me to this time in my life. With that said, I have my biggest hopes and dreams still ahead and stumbling upon "couchsurfing.com" is helping to shape that future. I only wish I thought of the site! I have many talents and interests that keep life interesting. I only need to remind myself to slow down sometimes and just enjoy today!

PHILOSOPHY

I have really been learning that all is one. If more people really understood that we are all connected by a divine universe and that the only thing we have to fear in life is fear itself, we could all exist in harmony and lift our experience in this life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was a host for some time in Albuquerque until taking a long hiatus. I have recently been in the mood to mix it up some and I am also getting the travel bug sooooo......... I am also in Durango Colorado now and have a really wonderful property that I would like to share.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have yet to have any from this site but I have traveled extensively and made great use of generous hosts in the past (prior to this site). I have family in the Washington DC area, Boston, Spain and New Zealand and Australia. Friends in Virginia Beach, a great host in Germany, my favorite couch though was a dear friend in Croatia!

Interests

I like remodeling houses ( my house right now) and working on the property. I have been learning to trade in the stock market the last couple of years which I hope will afford me a digital nomad type of lifestyle soon. I like to cook when I haven't been cooking for work for a while if you know what I mean. Traveling of course, just being outdoors, hiking, and I just love experiencing local cultures and FOOD!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music. I believe the more you can appreciate the more you can appreciate life. I have never been a bookworm and mostly read about trading and global events/economics these days. I have read many self improvement books along the way too. I few of the more fun books I have read would be the Celestine Prophecy,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have had great traveling experiences but the only thing that really comes to mind is a few times when I have had the feeling of truly connecting with the universe. All of a sudden all of your questions about life are answered and there is no fear. This was a big time of transformation for me. I am looking forward to another leap!

Teach, Learn, Share

I certainly can teach cooking. I do it every summer. I have a seasonal job now and usually have new staff to work with each summer.

I have been focusing my learning efforts of late on stock/commodities trading. It has been much tougher than I imagined but I still hope to become the digital nomad of trading soon!

I am always learning remodeling, construction, gardening and holistic nutrition.
