About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Reached the Wisdom Stage of Life with Dignity while having FUN!!!

ABOUT ME

Easy going down to Earth guy who likes to travel and see the world. I have a lot of energy and see the connection of all life.

PHILOSOPHY

Strangers are just friends we have not met yet. Keep it simple and be flexible.

But then if they become too strange than you can always de=friend them on Facebook or in life itself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love HOSTING and giving every couch surfer a great experience while in Denver and my favorite areas of the Rocky Mountains.

CAUTION: Surfer's it is very important once You accept a Host to communicate well within a few days of arrival to keep your Host informed of time of arrival or if your plans have changed. This is the best way to keep this community respectful to those that love to help you on your travels. I usually have to canceled my offers if I don't hear from a surfer within 1 or 2 days of expected arrival.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Now that I have been doing this for over 10 years; I have already hosted over 200 couch surfers from many States in the USA and countries of the World. Everyone has been an enjoyable experience. Couch Surfers are the change that We want to see in this World; based on the 3 Ideal's of TRUST for each other; GENEROSITY of the Host and those they serve,;Finally FRIENDSHIP many have already been made.

Interests

Travel and photography of those adventures is my passion for LIFE and the Connectedness of the Earth.
Staying physically fit and helping others in need. I was also a Volunteer Disaster Assistance Captain for the Mile High Chapter of the American Red Cross.

Music, Movies, and Books

Try to follow Mother Teresa of Calcutta's example.

"Simplicity is a freedom so that what I possess doesn't own me, so what I possess doesn't hold me down, so that my possessions don't keep me from sharing or giving of myself."

Spiritual, Action, Comedy, Sci Fi and of course Travel Books to new places.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Family History - traveled places where my ancestor lived, but never met them because it was 100's of years ago yet felt they communicated with me by helping me find things about them or their burial sites when sometimes I was about to give up on finding them.

Spiritual World and the Energy that it provides me and our Earth! Experiences at Pyramids in Egypt and Mexico and places that Honor all great Spiritual Teachers.

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone I believe has something to share you just have to find a way to tap into it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My Life experiences are open for great discussions. Many couch surfers have become life long friends although we only shared a few days together the good energy and warmth of their smile has created the most interesting friends of a lifetime.
