About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, change & learn

ABOUT ME

Returning to teaching from a 2 1/2 year break working in the natural gas industry.

PHILOSOPHY

Have as much as fun as possible. Life is very short and we only have one time around. Your conscience will tell you what is right.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted a bunch when I was in Florida. I think my guests enjoyed the stay in that I showed them around to all the really cool places. I was only able to host a few people when I lived in Pennsylvania and now that I'm moving back to Florida I have a roommate and no room for hosting at this time, unfortunately.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Freaked out the girl when I let my dogs lick off the plates - I put them in the dishwasher! I have bonded out a couple guests from the local jailhouse and then we went to the beach for drinks. All my guests were great - some cultural misunderstandings got them in trouble - funny stories. I enjoyed hosting.
