I am and have been a writer, teacher, college adjunct professor, bartender, Air Force veteran, juvenile corrections officer, theater performer, film maker, dog trainer, crafter, and yogi who loves food, travel, history, cultures, the “unexplained”, exploring and new adventures. I’m a disabled veteran with a service dog. He pretty much goes everywhere with me and is probably one of the most well behaved traveled dogs you’ll meet. 420 friendly

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This life is about making connections with others through our experiences to realize we’re not alone, we all have a purpose and that is to just love others as ourselves knowing we all have the same dreams and desires. I don’t believe in coincidental interactions. It’s nice to make those connections all over with strangers who become friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music depends on mood, but something uplifting, same with movies. Books I like reading about other peoples’ lives and how they overcame struggle (fiction or non). Spiritual books
