Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would be here to help visitors with suggestions on how to navigate Southern California and enjoy their travel experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never couch surfed, but did travel all thru Europe staying in hostels, when I was younger. I think couch surfing is a great way for folks to travel the world and meet great local people.

Interests

I love sailing and could maybe take a couchsurfer sailing with my friends. I also enjoy hiking, and old movies. I am a member of a hiking club and a club that enjoys going to movie houses to see classic movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have trekked in the Himalayas, going to the top of the Annapurnia Sanctuary.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an avid mentor of those who want to be entrepreneurial, and have coached many in their business startups.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great surroundings, we can go whale watching, beaches to visit, great food, and meet my local friends. Help with travel plans for other parts of the area. Also I do have a friendly Himalayan cat for those who might be allergic to cats. He doesnot bite haha and is quiet and friendly.
