I am a retired professor of religious studies. I travel all the time, and have been all over the world. I have 3 daughters whom I adore, two in New York City and one in Tucson, Arizona, with whom I live (along with my 2 grandsons). I am now gay, but I love all people. I am fun to talk to and am interested in many things. I can't yet host, but look forward to doing that soon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and meet new people. I get along with everyone.

Interests

I studied for many years with a Sufi teacher. Although I am a Christian (Episcopalian), I am interested in the esoteric side of all religious traditions.
