I believe that strangers are simply best friends I haven't met yet. I enjoy just hanging out with people and sharing stories and past experiences, specifically how those experiences impacted us. That is why I am in CouchSurfing.

I am a goodhearted sincere nice guy. My career has been in healthcare IT but that is all behind me as I retired early to enjoy life ! I love real estate as well.

During my retirement, I plan on writing a book (10 Things To Teach Your Kids About Money Before They Turn 18), studying quantum mechanics (for fun), and traveling the world.

I love to laugh and act silly. Comedy clubs always attract my attention!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy making new friends, interacting with locals during my travels, learning foreign cultures and laughing. My motto is "Strangers are simply best friends you have not met.....yet"

Interests

I love to garden and traveling the world, making new friends. Love to dance and not afraid to be 1st on dance floor. I live passionately without fear.

I am a curious guy that loves new adventures. Outdoors, camping, hiking, travel, scuba, and gardening, yoga, comedy, concerts. Meeting people. Hearing their stories. Laughing. Smiling. Gratefulness.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy all genres of music. The common theme in my playlist are they all have upbeat lyrics that encourage positive thinking and empowerment. "I'm Happy" by Pharrell Williams for example.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made my mother proud. I prefer telling the story face to face.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe there's a big difference between existing and truly living. I love to dance and I'm not afraid to be the first guy out on the dance floor to a good song. I'll be the first guy to dive in the water when we go scuba diving or snorkeling or when a comedian asks for a volunteer from the audience. I smile when I empower someone that WANTS to try something new but was afraid.

I believe in good financial management towards debt free living and I'm always excited to help other people achieve financial goals through budgeting.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My stories and my laughter. Willing to clean in exchange for place to sleep. I am always willing to listen to those that need to talk and to provide life coaching.
