I'm a banker by profession. I love to talk, I love to laugh, I'm never depressed, and I'm never depressing. I'm an eternal optimist and firmly believe in life as a never-ending pursuit of happiness.

Check out my video where I (am trying to) play the Spanish guitar:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to lighten some weary traveler's burden by either offering him/ her the couch or some hard-to-find travel tips that would, hopefully, make his/ her travels a little more comfortable, a little more convenient, and a little more rewarding.

Interests

Reading is my real job. I read well over a hundred books every year.

I'm crazy about music. I've been teaching myself the Spanish Flamenco guitar for the past few years.

I love the movies. I have some truly obscure gems to share with other movie enthusiasts.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to read and I have loads of stories and tales and yarns to share.

I have a tendency to step outside my own self and look at life from an extremely objective, and extremely honest perspective, and I've been doing it all my adult life. I have picked up some golden nuggets of wisdom and would love to discuss those with my hosts.

I love music, particularly ballads from the 1960s and 1970s, as well as contemporary nouveau flamenco guitar.

I have a wealth of travel tips that I'd like to share with my hosts and friends.
