I like to travel, meet people, and experience different cultures.
I have 3 adult children and am now free to travel the world and try new experiences.
I am flexible, friendly, and like to converse with people from all different types of backgrounds.
I help people succeed with whatever they may aspire to.
When I meet people around the world, the thing I hear the most often about me is "You are not like any American I have ever met before."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people and experience new things. I have been an AirBnb user for sometime now, and wanted to try something different. A friend told me about Couchsurfing and it seemed like it would be a cool way to meet more people from around the world.
