Have you seen "One Couch at a Time"?

Moved to Winchester in Summer 2012
Grandkids are just an hour away so we are loving being able to visit pretty often. We'll show you pictures!
I'm called "grandpa Frisbee"...

Moved from Bethlehem, PA to West Virginia in 2003 for the love of my life whom I met contra dancing.We were married in 2007! We have a CS profile for both of us 'WendyandGary' and now her kids are both CSers!

I grew up in the lovely city of Toronto.
I've danced in classical ballet companies, taught ESL in Venezuela and Spain, played at 4 World Club championships in Ultimate Frisbee, won the world Freestyle Frisbee championships in 1995 and started www.frisbeeguy.com (same as "spinning bees") and www.championofplay.com to share my joy of frisbee and promote healthy living...
My wife and I surf together under the 'wendyandgary' profile...

PHILOSOPHY

Be nice...play fair...build your karma...tell your story...be grateful for everything

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Is there anyone I do not tell about CS!
Now I'm screening the documentary "One Couch at a Time"

Because of my job -doing frisbee shows at schools, camps and presenting at Physical Education and Play conferences- I have to be in all sorts of communities and so have been many people's first surfer.

I've been known to return for a second surf too. Always welcomed!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First time was Jan 06 we stayed with a real nice couple in Lexington, KY. They made me and Wendy feel very welcome. Our next trip we surfed in Colorado and that was great!! And then we surfed in Italy on the way to Paganello -FANTASTICO!!!
Also I have stayed solo in Connecticut,Chicago,New Jersey,Austin,Charlottesville and Richmond Virginia,DC area,Baltimore, Doylestown-Pa, Georgia, South and North Carolina, Kentucky and Oklahoma, Berlin. So many nice folks out there!!!
In 1998, while on a 10-week tour doing school assemblies, I stayed with strangers 5 of 7 nights. Some of these folks are great friends now and some are memories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trip to Angel Falls. Las Fallas in Valencia, Spain.
Our wedding was amazing!!!!

While on vacation in Estonia I did a spot with their Nationall TV. https://jupiter.err.ee/1609464916/harra-lendav-taldrik

Teach, Learn, Share

Funny but seems like I get to show a few frisbee tricks in living rooms and backyards whenever I surf. Or maybe it's a little scarf juggling.
I'd like to play discgolf if there's a course nearby...or cook a dinner for you (or help with the dishes)...or visit your afterschool program ... or take you to your local contra dance
