About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Fulfilling my 8 page bucket list and helping others fulfill theirs...

ABOUT ME

I lead an interesting life having worked with the UN and running my own non-profit Aid Organization in war zones. Now I help strangers spontaneously world wide and have my own business locally, setting up computer networks for major businesses.

I have amazing stories to tell around the campfire and can truly say I left the earth a better place for my having lived in it; but until then, there is so much more to do!

PHILOSOPHY

Bite off more than you can chew.... THEN CHEW IT!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host and surf

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mongolia, China, Israel, Kosovo, Bosnia, Iran, Mexico and disappointed that I get no response from Mars... :-) YET

Interests

I enjoy Museums, Libraries, Architecture, People watching, Education camping, hiking, skiing, horseback riding, climbing, scuba, biking, canoeing and parachuting. But also spas, galleries, strolls, picnics and meeting strangers. I Absolutely love animals. Because I work in 3rd world countries and harsh environments, I crave culture and local events where I can learn more about other peoples and their values.
