About Me

NEW to CouchSurfers 🛏️🛋️🚽🚿🛁

Life is a book, if you don't travel you are only reading page one.....

Work in high tech sales that takes me all over the world.... It also keeps me from home alot, so hosting has been a challenge so far, but working on freeing up weekends and beyond.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Enjoy meeting people with different perspectives to tell. Host people from around the world to share our stories and home. Sharing life chats, food, a cold adult beverage seems like an amazing way to spend a day or two 🍺 Making new friends 👫

Interests

Outdoors, traveling, hiking, backyard bbq's, shooting range, burning man, chilling, golfing/hacking, Let's go explore some new bars, coffee shops, restaurants or something or another... Would love to host people from all corners of the planet, every country, show them a bit of our corner, eat, drink, laugh and share stories about life🤘🏽

Music, Movies, and Books

Open to about any good movie, typically would Netflix a good old comedy, laughing is therapy. Or channel surf for a classic like Men In Black ha. Love country music, classic rock, 80s, will listen to just about anything from classic, jazz, hip-hop, and then some. My bookshelf consists of How To, Travel - lots of travel books, Autobiographies, reality/fact base Vs fiction. Not into Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, see where I'm going with this... Altho Marvel movies are starting to grow on me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Where do I begin, seriously..... Swam with sharks off Cape Town, South Africa coast. Been to ~25 countries, so lots of good amazing things. Many of them include a chair or stool, a small table, a bunch of beers, some street food and a friend or two, talking for hours, people watching, even inviting a few of them to join the best time we could offer up🤘🏽sky diving in Cali, climbed mountains on at least a few continents, snorkeled 4 oceans off 20 beaches, except GBR, but soon. Cruising down railroad tracks, staring out a window at a landscape never before seen, that also includes the window of: an Uber, Lyft, Greyhound, 737, apartment, hostel, hotel, restaurant, dept store, or a coffee shop, amazed at what our eyes are seeing, looking at, watching, enjoying 👀

Teach, Learn, Share

This will be a surprise for us all... You never know what you'll learn from an impromptu conversation with a stranger/friend/acquaintance👂

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great conversation, home cooked food, amazing home, comfort, relaxation, adult beverages, spontaneous combustion at some level.
