PLEASE READ MY PROFILE COMPLETELY BEFORE REQUESTING ME TO HOST YOU.

I am an adventurer. I love to travel and meet new people. I am retired, but I am committed to making the world a better place. I support a number of organizations that work to stop human trafficking as well as some who work for full equality for LBGTQ people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have met a few folks who do it and they convinced me to give it a try. And so far it has been lovely! I am a rather outgoing person and love to meet new folks. And when I travel, I always look to make new friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

everything from Jazz to Opera, including Rockand Roll, the Blues, K-Pop, Frank Zappa, and so much more!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I raised 7 children and didn't kill any of them, but the thought crossed my mind when they were in their teens!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have taught numerous workshops as a co-founder of the gay and lesbian center in the California central valley. These days I am learning all I can about Thailand' hill tribe people and seeking answers that could raise their quality of life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know and love Chiang Mai, and have lived here for 5 years. I love to introduce folks to my new hometown, and I have many contacts that have lived here all their lives and can answer any questions I might not be able to. My apartment building is owned by Christ Church Thailand, so I can only host women. Alcohol of all kinds are not allowed on the property.
