About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find a mission

ABOUT ME

quiet, ridiculous, cynically optimistic :)

If you're meeting me along the road, likely you will meet my trusty travel buddy, Carol. We've been bumbling around the world together for some years now. If we ever had to do the Amazing Race - minus all the strategy and physical activities - we would so have it in the bag.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to rope my unsuspecting friends into the wonderful world of couchsurfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I marked my first Couchsurfing experience in 2005 cruising around Los Angeles in a red convertible. I've had amazing experiences since. Currently on a very long hiatus / possibly retired from couchsurfing.
