Overview
About Me
I just turned 70 but was born to roam. Been to quite a few places, and done quite a lot of things. Currently I am doing a lot of motor biking and planning on visiting more countries. I am into Eastern thought, am a meditator, thoroughly enjoy heady conversation on just about anything and love watching movies. My wife recently passed so I have a lot more time on my hands now and am quite healthy. I live on a river and have a couple kayaks. My town is small and pretty layed back and country-ish. I Have a two acre backyard and its great for just poking around the river frontage, playing badminton or croquette. If your a serious biker we can ride up into the Blue Ridge Mountains and camp out at the Blue Ridge Motorcycle Campgrounds. Its awesome and just ten miles from Ashville. I dig mountain riding. Maybe you will too!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love to meet interesting people. I don't care how old you are or what race, religion, or sex. I especially enjoy energetic, kind, caring people. I do not enjoy drunks or drugged out idiots who have no regard for others. I am an adventure freak who loves to see new faces and explore new places. I love the idea of sharing our spaces so others can see the world economically. And sharing is perfect for that as I would love, most likely, to see YOUR world!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I once traveled overland from England to India. That was a long and totally wonderful trip I would do over. Wanna go?
Teach, Learn, Share
I love learning and sharing. I can teach a few things and have a lot of past experiences that might surprise you. I am very open minded and love to share what I hope might assist others in some way.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share my house on the river surrounded by big yard with trees and grass. Its like a park. I can also share my little friend Elmo (Maltese) and wonderful cat Trouble. I have a decent sound system and 3 tvs. I have three motorcycles, but unless I feel your capable I wont let you ride them! However, if your up for it I might take you for a ride on the back of one. If your into meditation, this is a great house for that and also just for chiling out and enjoying nature. I love to chat on just about any subject and love good coffee. Sharing on a one on one basis is good for the soul!
Countries I’ve Visited
