CURRENT MISSION

Living and enjoying life in the Hudson Valley

ABOUT ME

I used couchsurfing a bunch of years back as I traveled around the USA in my RV. Now I'm 30 and settled down for the time being. This area is great! I sold my RV to a gold prospector in Wyoming before getting back into my career as an engineer. I love music, arts, socializing, hiking, and adventuring.

PHILOSOPHY

Live by the golden rule. Enjoy the path instead of the destination.

Don't sweat the small stuff and don't cry over spilled milk!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in New Paltz NY in a cottage and work in Poughkeepsie NY. I have a small spare room with a very hard futon. Enough for 1 person or a couple.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Austin TX took my CS cherry. What a great place. Since then, I've couchsurfed in Memphis, Oklahoma City, Little Rock, Denver, Boulder, Albuquerque, ... All magic. That was back in 2013??

Interests

I love to play guitar, piano, harmonica. I like to fiddle with electronics and work on personal projects. I really keep myself busy doing whatever there is to do in an area. I'll do touristy stuff and enjoy just hanging in a city park and checking out the life.

I love national parks, national forest, BLM land, freedom.
