CURRENT MISSION
Make a bit of money to open a hostel/guesthouse somewhere in the Third World.

ABOUT ME

Been traveling since forever.
Went back to school at the age of 40 for a degree (MATESOL) which gave me the qualifications necessary to work in many different countries.

Have no "real" home; consider myself a World citizen.
Believe in friendship, honesty and kindness.

67-yr-old fart but refuse to "act my age". (Except for my laziness which keeps me laying down under a laptop for hours on end just watching old TV junk.)
Also spend lots of time just laying down reading more junk.
Got my MA just so I could get jobs around the world. (Finally retired and trying to survive on my limited fixed income.)
Have lived in hostels quite a bit and have also run hostels.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I think it's great to have an organization that encourages people to travel!

Had a great time hosting couchsurfers from around the world while living in Cambodia and Morocco.

Checking out being a guest for a change....
