Not available UNTIL September 2024.
I can host only 1-2 sets of people per month, and I am also on WarmShowers for bicycle tourists. So though I enjoy hosting, I need to coordinate my Couchsurfing hosting with that and my partner's schedule. I will try to remember to mark myself unavailable whenever I accept a new guest. So feel free to contact me but have a backup.

CURRENT MISSION
to enjoy my retirement after 46 years of teaching by reading, crosswording, traveling, and continuing to learn and teach Latin, learning Italian, and maybe acting or learning to play an instrument.

ABOUT ME

I have bicycled around Malaysia, the Yucatan, northwestern Spain, western Ireland, the Finger Lakes, the Adirondacks, and the Erie Canal. I managed a bed-and-breakfast in San Miguel de Allende for 2 summers

I'm gay; don't contact me if you have a problem with that.

PHILOSOPHY

Seize the day! La vida ain't no sueño!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted people and traveled as a guest. Unfortunately my rather busy schedule normally prevents me from meeting just for coffee or conversation, but if you believe that we have some important things in common, try me anyway.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted people from many countries and been a guest in Italy, Pennsylvania, and Ireland. Looking forward to more, but I do need breaks between guests.

Music, Movies, and Books
