CURRENT MISSION

Travel, cultural experience, learning and creating friendship.

ABOUT ME

My zero percent response rate is incorrect. Enjoying life, friends, other cultures and the world. Grateful, sociable adventurous, curious person who believes in reciprocity and karma. Fascinated by all kinds of people and cultures. You are never too old to enjoy your childhood. Michigan, Detroit and suburbs are finally getting some recognition as great places to live and visit.

PHILOSOPHY

Make the best of any situation. Rise above issues, don't nurture them. Educate myself about what is going on in the world without getting overwhelmed by the negatives. There is something beautiful in every person and every place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Would be happy to accept requests for coffee a drink, sightseeing and host when possible. If you request to surf with me please be prepared to supply me with the information needed to accommodate you. Date and time of arrival, (arrival time should be before 11;00 PM) with a reasonable amount of advance notice. Please do not request to surf until you are sure of your plans.

COUCH SURFING EXPERIENCE

Had very nice meetups in Rio through CS and enjoy hosting surfers. Hosting can be as rewarding as traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

All the beautiful shades of blue-green while flying over the Caribbean. Carnival parade in Rio de Janeiro. The volcanic crater in Maui, Hawaii, 3.5km (2.2 miles) X 12km (7.5 miles). Was fortunate to come across the aurora borealis by accident, hoping for that experience again. Helped save a drowning man off the coast of Rio.

Teach, Learn, Share

American culture is as interesting to others as theirs is to me. Can teach, learn and share by hosting, showing CS,ers around or for local advise. I am very accommodating.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Friendship, conversation, site seeing, sharing experiences, lunch, dinner, life events, time.... as much or as little as appropriate. A nice meal prepared by me or me and host, there is always something to learn.
There are unlimited options for reciprocation.
