Hello Fellow Travelers,

I am a teacher turned real-estate broker and manager, with a love of travel, sport, music and art. I am masters educated, active, and love the outdoors and new sights and experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling, and the best part of traveling is meeting the people and getting a sense of the culture of a place, which is difficult to do when kept isolated in hotels and tourist zones! Don't get me wrong, I still like to check off the big sights and get my picture taken in famous places, but I enjoy the off-the-beaten-path and unusual experience that not everyone can say they did as well.
