About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Bicycle around the world...or at least read about it.

ABOUT ME

I enjoy riding bicycles and motorcycles. My wife is a wannabe farmer so we have honey bees, chickens, a great dog and way too many cats.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is that the life I am living now is the only one that I'm going to have so I better enjoy my days to the fullest. No time for regret, just get involved.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Part of what I enjoy as I cycle through different areas is meeting the people. CS gives me that opportunity. On the other hand my wife and I open our home to those passing through our area. A very symbiotic relationship.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have enjoyed meeting fellow CSers. Okay, some hosts have been more interesting than others and some guests have been more enjoyable than some - but hey, that is life. All in all, I recommend CS to others and look forward to my next guest or host.

Interests

Racquetball, bicycling, motorbiking, photography.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll watch a movie now and then, but I would certainly not say that I am passionate about any that I have seen during the past 20 years. Music: well, I'm an old guy so I like old music. Grew up in the 60's so that is where my heart is. I enjoy a good novel, no sci-fi please.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am enjoyed doing some interesting things. Nothing that I would categorize as "amazing" and that is because I am not an amazing person. I am happy and I enjoy the things that I do. I DID listen to someone for 5 minutes without interrupting them...some of my friends would say that that was amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about touring on a bicycle, but of course, if you are reading this, you ALREADY know a thing or two about bicycle touring! I can share the secrets of bicycle maintenance (really, there are none).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Shower
Basic bike tools
Kitchen (you clean up!)
Laundry
