I am a yogi musician carpenter/luthier exploring the world. I am new to couchsurfing. I left the corporate world behind 10 years ago and have been splitting my time between Canada and Costa Rica where I play music in the local restaurants and teach yoga and build musical instruments used for sound therapies. I am an open-minded, free spirit. I love having great conversations about life and philosophy. I like to have a good time, check out live music or go out and explore. I love to cook. Clean, neat, polite and respectful. I also love dogs and cats.

I'm not here to "hook up", I am genuinely seeking connection and make new friends. Men, women or other, I am respectful of all walks of life. I value immensely my diverse and lifelong friendships. See what I'm up to @dougananda

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet and connect with locals while I travel. When I am at home I will be more than happy to share space with other surfers but currently traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I became a father and helped raise a strong, intelligent, kind and caring daughter.
