I'm a frequent business traveler, but when I wander own my own, it's different. I look for new friends and new experiences. My work has allowed me to travel all over the world and I enjoy getting to know new people and places. I'm a non-smoker who's happy to keep your place clean. I don't do drugs but I don't judge. I'm a buddhist who's open to any reasonable set of beliefs. I love nearly any kind of food and will happily join you in the kitchen. I have 2.3 billion stories and will, with little prompting, tell them all. I do however have an off switch.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Looking for stops along the way in my travels, as I visit family and friends. All of my experiences on Couchsurfing have been great.
Music, Movies, and Books
Basically everything. Movies: Dr. Strangelove, The Producers (the original), Brazil. Music: from classical to classical gas. I know more show-tunes than any other straight man in America. Books: I have thousands of books.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Taught English to buddhists in India
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm a business coach and trainer, so I am happy to share my observations. And I love to learn about new foods. I've always had 2-3 jobs at one time so I've done lots of things-- movie projectionist, speed-reading teacher, sound technician, lighting design, actor, band manager, teacher, campaign manager, dish-washer, bartender - you name it and I probably did it.
What I Can Share With Hosts
my desire to learn new things and meet new friends. and often, german chocolate
