Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Enjoying life to the fullest. One day at a time. There is always something good in everyone you meet. Some people you need to pull back more layers than others, but everyone has a soft spot in their heart. Love & Peace.
ABOUT ME
I am 60 year old happily married and have three wonderful children. Two boys (31, 29) and one daughter (27). I have lived with Parkinson's disease for the last 14 years and have not let it slow me down besides the occasional tremors that comes along with it. If anything I am able to shake it more on the dance floor (not that I ever could anyways). I have travelled a lot in my youth and been to close to 60 different countries, thanks to when I worked on the Royal Viking Sea cruise line from 1978-80. (I will be adding all the countries I have been to shortly) I have also been to 25 different baseball stadiums with my two sons.
PHILOSOPHY
Life's a beach, don't I wish.. This should tell you a little bit about my idea of a good time. Lots of sun and sand, always make for a good time.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I couchsurfered through Central America with my daughter for 7 weeks and stayed with 13 different families. I have very fond memories of all the people I met. I enjoy meeting new people and getting the chance to show them around the wonderful town of Pleasanton.
