I am a 46 year old professor of geography and environmental sustainability at a small college in upstate New York. I love to read, travel, play/write music on my guitar, spend time with my family and friends, and get as much out of life as possible.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I’m here because I absolutely love to meet people from different places and cultures. I enjoy the learning process and developing contacts around the world.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I once was a “handler” for a team of sled dogs in Montana. The race was called the “Race to the Sky” and I helped feed, love, and rest/bed the team of sled dogs for the musher. It was amazing!

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I would love to help people develop their English speaking skills. I can also teach someone how to play the guitar as I’ve been playing (mostly rock) for over 25 years.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I can share my travel experiences, my perspective as a US citizen in this crazy period in US politics, my guitar experience, and my passion for travel and meaningful conversations/friendships.
