About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To become a well educated, responsible world citizen ( and have fun in the process)

ABOUT ME

I'm a well traveled individual who has visited over 20 fantastic countries world wide and hopefully more to come. I thoroughly enjoy meeting new people from different cultures, friendly discussions on philosophy/ historical events and discovering the majestic beauty of nature.

I appreciate the outdoors especially hiking and completing a challenging walk to get to an awesome view . However, I also appreciate the finer things in life including wining and dining, attending a good opera and visiting world class museums and historical artifacts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My previous room mates introduced me to couch surfing . As a traveler (not a tourist) it is an excellent medium to meet locals to get the real vibe and feeling of their city or town. This authentic experience is hard to find in a hostel or hotel.

Looking to host as it is a great method to meet travelers and hear about their journeys, experience and stories.

Interests

Enjoy the outdoors in particular a good hike with majestic views like Bariloche in Argentina, Queenstown, NZ or Inca trail in Cuzco Peru.

I like to have a good conversation centered around history, culture and people's travels

On a fun side I enjoy a good restaurant, bar scenes and do some Salsa and Bachata dancing
