Hi, I'm a 45 year old guy who had a 23 year career in Healthcare, with the last 11 as an executive. I recently retired in November 2017. I am going to be doing some travelling for a year or so before embarking on my new "career" as a personal trainer. I love fitness, good wine, hiking/trekking, beaches, golfing, cooking and dining out. My passion, along with fitness is dogs and all animals really... I LOVE dogs. Have a rescue dog of my own currently and volunteer with an organization who investigates, confronts, and works to shut down and prosecute the despicable, abhorrent people who participate in and run dog fighting rings n the US. The pursuit of this passion has led me to see things that I can only describe as beyond inhumane and as cruel as you can imagine. The worst of what humans are capable of. Therefore, I won't rest until dog fighting is a thing of the past in the U.S and am extremely grateful that I have the resources, time and energy to devote to this passion!!

I'm introverted by nature. I have a small group of very close friends who I spend time with. Friends who I have known a long time and some that I have met more recently. My goal in this next (hopefully) exciting chapter in my life is to be more outgoing and meet more people! I want to be open to spontaneous personal interaction with others and expand not only my circle of friends, but also my perspective on the world and life. I am taking my first solo trip to Australia for two weeks in January and plan to meet as many new, interesting people as I can and get out of my "comfort zone" :)

I dont have any references or friends listed on couchsurfing because I am brand new and this is my first go at it!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I will be travelling and looking for meet new friends whilst I am out and about! Also willing to host in Miami Florida and Savannah Georgia. I live in Miami and prior to this I lived in Savannah for 11 years. I still have loft home there in the heart of the beautiful historic downtown, that I use as a vacation rental and for others to stay in when they are visiting Savannah! I would love to let you use my loft and talk to you about all that the beautiful city of Savannah has to offer! and of course would also be happy to show you around Miami, Miami Beach and the many beautiful things to see in this tropical paradise!

Música, películas y libros

Country Music
Now that I am retired I prefer Fiction books (Lee Child, David Baldacci, Brad Thor, Harlan Coben, John Hart). When I was in my business career I read a lot of management and leadership books, books and periodicals about the U.S. and world economies and books about political philosophy, which is still of great interest to me.
And I like All kinds of movies!! Yes even "chick flicks" LOL!!!

Algo increíble que he hecho

Retired at 45 :)
But seriously, I'm still awaiting that first really amazing thing... I've spent a great deal of time working, and travelling throughout the US for business, and internationally occasionally. I have recently spent some amazing time volunteering on behalf of dog welfare in the U.S. which I have loved and found very gratifying. I have travelled extensively, cave jumped, climbed glaciers, partipated in a number of grueling fitness contests.. But nothing that I can yet consider truly amazing. I could list many impressive business achievements but those would be boring... I am searching for my first real "amazing" thing I guess :)

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Laughter, fun, a love of good wine and food and deep knowledge of fitness and extreme love of animals especially dogs :)
I would also be happy to meet new people who are travelling to my city and former city (Miami or Savannah) to show you around and so you have someone to meet when you arrive
