Hi, I'm currently a teacher, and have been for 20 years now. Prior to that I taught SCUBA diving in Florida. I have traveled each of my 19 summers off and have written two books about my travels (Summers off & Summers On). I have also been focusing more on the photographs I take from around the world and sell these photos during my seasonal art shows. I have traveled to over 100 countries, but lately I am less interested in seeing more than I am of really enjoying the places I go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm interested in couchsurfing because one of the things I enjoy most about traveling is meeting people that also travel or that have traveled. I love to learn about other places I may want to visit, and I love to share my experiences with other interested parties.
