I am an extrovert who enjoys moment I am in. Give me a great view with a glass of wine. Give me great friends with a beer. I like to play trivia at beer halls, talking with friends and meeting strangers. I enjoy sporting events (though I don't play because I'm not athletic). I enjoy big events like sports but also enjoy conversing at small pubs and random places. I like good beers--hops are my favorite flowers. I'm a hippie trapped inside a preppie body. My motto is "Cerne Diem" (See the Day). I have profiles on Facebook and Instagram @FrankWSNC. Before you ask: I don't snore.

Celtic music, pop music, classic rock n roll, classical, sacred, country, 80s music. I enjoy the TV series "Game if Thrones".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I flew to the Dallas-Ft Worth Airport for the sole reason to see the solar eclipse. As soon as it ended, I got on the plane and spent the rest of the week in Europe.

I went to Mardi Gras in New Orleans. I stayed with friends who lived there so they knew all the places to go and watch the parades and houses to visit afterwards.

I went to London for 2 weeks in college for a theater course. I saw 15 plays in 15 days, including original cast of "Phantom of the Opera" and original cast of "Chess".

Teach, Learn, Share

I give tours of my city and state. I know much of the local history and stories. I used to give tours professionally.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can bring a coffee cake from my city: Moravian Sugar Cake is very good and sweet and can easily fit in my luggage. I can also cook various dishes like Jambalaya or Southern Fried Chicken. With advance notice, I could bring a particular souvenir if you have something in mind...perhaps something--like a shirt--from Wake Forest University. I can cut men's hair if you have clippers and scissors.

Countries I’ve Visited

Bahamas, Belgium, Canada, England, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland
