I am in my early 50's. I am divorced and an empty nester. Luckily I like my own company, so not lonely. But, after living in Dallas a few years, I realized I don't get out enough and my world seems to be shrinking. Being a guest and having you for a guest will be good for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel and this seemed like a good way to meet like minded people.

Interests

Travel, art, and music are my favorite things. The best times are when I can combine the three. However, I recently bought a van and have been getting more into nature and camping. I really like the freedom of just being able to find a park and sleep in the back. But I think everyone needs a healthy balance. A bit of time on your own for introspection should be countered by good times with friends and family.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am not much of a reader and I surf way too much. I do love music though, especially live music. I lived in Austin for 5 years and Vegas before that so always expect music when I go out. What?!? This restaurant doesn't have a band?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flown an F-16. I was awarded an "incentive ride" when I was in the Air National Guard. The pilot let me fly the jet for a little bit, including rolls and loops. I did 9 G's and didn't puke or pass out. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am not sure how much I could teach a fellow traveler, but I am always up for swapping lies...er...I mean stories. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

It would be my pleasure to treat you to a nice meal and help with chores.
