I have lived and worked (at mostly high schools and universities) on 4 continents, speak a few languages (some a bit rusty), have a few degrees (I'm an eternal student), and love to explore places and meet people of all walks of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Getting "too old" for the (majority) hostel scenes and don't like hotels (only tourists!) ... have always hosted travelers I've met wherever I have lived, and have heard only good reports from friends who did couch surfing!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all music (play a few instruments), except rap :); read and watch informative movies and books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Did an iron man in 1990 (post divorce "revenge")

Teach, Learn, Share

As an educator (kinesiology, biology and science, among others) I love to share experiences, but mostly love to learn - about everything and anything!

A meal, conversation, travel experiences
