ABOUT ME

I hope they would say that I'm an optimist, fun to be around, kind, generous, and that my singing, though out of tune, is tolerable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm just getting started, but look forward to being on both ends of the deal.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've done plenty of couchsurfing, but long before it had a name. I am looking forward to returning the favor to lots of interesting folks.

Interests

Anything done with passion and competence. There is always something new to explore. I love music. Especially enjoy attending live music performances, particularly in small venues. If I can travel AND go to live music on the trip, I am in heaven.
