Hello, fellow Earthlings (or wherever you may be from)! I just posted a quick profile and entry on here as my wife, our 21-y.o. son, & I may ever be in need of some couches to "surf" on. I'm a 48-y.o. professional in Philly who often travels with my wife, Erika, and our son who is now in college. Essentially, I'm a responsible, smoke & drug-free, free-spirit who loves meeting others and have heard nothing but great things from friends who have couch-surfed and thought we may give it a try. I'm hoping our paths cross along the way! Thanks for reading and considering me/us as guests.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've only heard great things about it from others who've done it & figured I'd get on board in case I ever needed to have such lodging options available in the future. Love the humanitarian concept and tone of it all amidst this money-oriented culture we're surrounded by. Been hosting on AirBnB since '14 & have thoroughly enjoyed it.

Interests

Any and all sports ever played or yet to try, writing, film, positive creation of any kind. Good food and wine washed down with some interesting conversation is always the best though.

• writing
• dining

Music, Movies, and Books

Film: "The Shawshank Redemption" or "The Quiet Man"
Music: INXS, Coldplay, Cream, Soundgarden, Marvin Gaye, anything that's genuine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survived the most dangerous route possible to Macchu Picchu.

Teach, Learn, Share

Life has led me to quite a few different corners of the globe and I'm just thankful to have seen and heard as much as I have. I need to remind myself of this often as I get stuck grinding away with conventional life's distracting and oft-misleading demands. Happiness can be attained from within but that often requires getting out of one's comfort and hemispheric zones.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am an ultra-courteous and clean guest who's happy to "pitch in" wherever needed.
