About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel to Tunisia

ABOUT ME

There are too many places in the world to see to stay in one place for too long.

I have an online travel magazine: http://gomadnomad.com and my personal travel blog: http://bohemiantraveler.com/

I travel mostly to see how people are living in different places, so I usually don't have any agenda. I'm interested in a wide variety of things, so I like to look at all aspects of the places I visit. Most importantly, I like to meet people wherever I travel and couchsurfing makes that a little easier.

PHILOSOPHY

There are little important things you can learn from each culture and religion and if I can adapt those philosophies to my own life I will be better for it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The more we know about one another, the closer we come to world peace.

I'm a roaming travel consultant. I can answer your travel questions and help you plan your trip. Let me know.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was crossing a river on a ferry boat in Nova Scotia while on a solo two-week cycling tour in 2002 when a family invited me back to their house for a barbecue and to stay for the night. Minutes after arriving I had a beer and burger in my hands.
