Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love to meet people. Don’t want to follow the tourist herd.

Music, Movies, and Books

All types of music, especially live. Was on concert committee in undergrad. Saw all kinds of live concerts. Like thoughtful movies where you have to use your brain. Drama, mystery, period pieces,& especially history. Love history, fiction, & especially political history

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went on a open range cattle drive on the big island of Hawaii for three weeks......roped, branded, castrated, & vaccinated rang open range calves. Cooked out of chuck wagon and slept in the grass under the stars where the observatory has the clearest skies in the world.
