East Coast bumpkin who came to solo traveling later in life. I enjoy places not on the usual tourist's radar and I share the same love for nature as I do urban exploration.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for wisdom and guidance from other travelers as I start getting out more.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I'm an old metal head but enjoy electro swing, too, and most old world folk.

Movies: M*A*S*H* and Fight Club are favourites, but anything with some explosions or comedy is enjoyable. Except Death Race 2050. Wtf was up with that?

Books: Siddhartha, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, Tao of Pooh, 4HWW

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I could put a number of things here, but I think the most amazing thing I've done outside of being a dad is I have really taken control of my time and goals to an extreme level.

I love being lazy like Winnie the Pooh, but its impossible to accomplish without a lot of negative consequences unless I'm ridiculously disciplined with my time management.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: time management, goal setting, working with lists, how to use a compass.

Learn: food, languages, culture

Share: photography, writing and stories

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a trained listener. I'm pretty good at keeping a conversation going, but I'm forever curious, so I enjoy listening to what someone has to say to find my next question.

I'm also becoming a bit of an old dog, so I'm really low maintenance.
