Hi,
I'm probably a little older than the average Couchsurfing user, but don't worry about that. I travel a lot, sometimes on a bicycle, sometimes on a motorcycle with a guitar strapped to it. I have made it a habit to stay in hostels because I enjoy the contact with other travelers, which is much more fun than staying in hotels where people usually don't connect. I am looking forward to trying Couchsurfing and believe this will be a great way of further expanding my global network of friendships with people of all ages and walks of life. If you'd like to find out more about me you may want to check out the travel blog I wrote during a long motorcycle tour to Patagonia in 2014: www.segovia112001.wordpress.com
I have dual German/US citizenship and have my primary residence in the US (NJ) since 1998. However, I spend about 50% of the year in South America and a great deal of the remainder traveling in Europe and elsewhere.
