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.

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.
