CURRENT MISSION

World Traveler

ABOUT ME

Wanderer at heart, a world traveler in reality: travel is my occupation, my vice, my passion.

I have been the recipient of many generous, hosted accommodations; now it is time to 'give back.' I host in New York City (Manhattan) and, when I travel, I look for home stays or CouchSurfing. I keep myself open, seek always to explore uncharted territory, to meet new people & to spike (my and my host's) enthusiasm for life.

PHILOSOPHY

"This Above All, to Thine Own Self Be True."
--Polonius, in Hamlet

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As your guest, I do not need to be entertained, I am independent, considerate, thoughtful, gracious and respectful. I have a highly unusual and varied background--I am "interesting and interested."

As a host, I am happy to provide New York City-insider tips, pointing you in the right direction.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

For me, previous hosted accommodation include experiences in Cape Town, Barcelona, Sydney & Brisbane.

I have happily hosted several CouchSurfers in New York City--each a very successful experience.
