About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet new and interesting folks, of course

ABOUT ME

I like to think of myself as a free spirit. I can be quite a talker but I'm a damn fine listener, if I do say so my damn self. I LOVE to meet new people. I can suck down the suds with the bestofem. BUT, I'll socialize in any place, bar or otherwise. Not a coffee drinker. I figure I got enough natural caffeine percalatin in my system. If you feel like checkin out the sights and sounds of my city, don't hesitate to drop a line. If I'm available I'll meet up. Bed is available at my place for comfortable sleepin.

PHILOSOPHY

Watch the skies. They might be landing RIGHT NOW

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed, I do surf, I will surf, I have had surfed, I have surf hosted. Have a spare room with a bed to sleep in. Bed not available from Dec. 22nd to 29th as I will be in Philadelphia.

Have surfed in Ireland, coast of Oregon, Boston, and Philly. Hope to host sometime soon.
