Emigrated to Canada in 1981 after meeting my now ex wife in Greece.
Worked as an general duty and ICU/ER RN for more than 28 years.
Retired in 2014 and separated in 2015.
Have always loved travelling and my other great passion is horticulture. Work as a landscaper 3-4 days a week.
Drive humanitarian supplies down to Guatemala each January in my car and usually help out with a small local development organization for 2-3 months and stay with the volunteer families.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I pay my entire trip to Guatemala out of my own pocket .
Between accomodation, insurance, gas and food it frequently pushes me to my financial limit.
Any help in keeping costs down is a blessing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love all latino music.
Love books on history, architecture, archeology.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Emigrated to a new country and start a new life

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach younger people about the danger of taking democracy for granted being from a country that was under fascist occupation for 5 years.
Lean about other habits and beliefs from a variety of different cultures.
Share our humanity by emphasizing what we have in common.
