CURRENT MISSION

I'm due for a BIG trip... it's been over 9 years since our EU adventure :-))

ABOUT ME

I am 62 years young and lucked into an early retirement. Being too young to actually "retire" I now have to figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life. Four months of traveling around Europe with my son Mike was fun!!!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short not to want to experience many different things...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mike and I met lots of great CS Hosts during our trip to Europe from March 27 to August 1, 2008.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies and books with an historical theme and of course all the action flicks. Music... good old Rock and Roll with a sprinkling of classical.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing things I've done? I didn't seriously injure myself when I attempted downhill skiing :-) Amazing things I've seen? That's an easy one - being in the delivery room when my two lovely boys were born. I still get misty thinking about it...

Teach, Learn, Share

Following on the "history buff" theme I would definitely like to learn about the regional history of the areas I travel. Castles, great people from the area...
