44 year old male, 23 years of teaching experience with Middle School students (ages 11-14). Avid fisherman and water enthusiast. My girlfriend and I take a summer adventure every year and we have had loads of fun using the couchsurfing website.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When we travel, the most authentic experiences we have are our interactions with the local people. Sharing stories and experiences with the people we meet, that's what makes travel memorable and special and that's why we are on couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hard to list just one, but if I had to narrow it down it would have to be the time we spent in Zambia six years ago volunteer teaching with the children at the Uyoba School. It was an the most rewarding thing I have done to date and I long for the time to visit there again.
