My life has been different than most people's lives. Before I went out and traveled, I held a variety of odd jobs and then bartended. I have backpacked in Europe and Asia, taught English in Thailand (twice), traveled in Mexico, and then I sailed as a Merchant Marine for some years. Now I am back in school and intend to start a new chapter in my life when I graduate.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was kind of talked into it.

Interests

Traveling, meeting honest people, learning about different ways of life as well as different points of view. I have a long Bucket List of things I would like to do in life. As for the simpler things; I enjoy getting together with people that I feel comfortable with and relaxing, doing karaoke etc. I also love going to the beach and swimming in the ocean. A hike is always great too.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music? So much to name! I'm a major fan of the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix. I love Classic Rock and (old) R&B/Soul a lot. I am an avid collector of music from different genres. My favorite decade for music would be the 1970's .

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacked on three continents, sailed around the world more than once.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to talk a lot about philosphy and other things related. I can always learn more about modern history as well as politics and I'm willing to discuss it.
