CURRENT MISSION

50 states and 50 countries.....Done! How about doubling up the countries?

ABOUT ME

I tend to host more than surf. I am very laid back and really just need a place to sleep while passing through town, though having someone to see the area with would also be great.

I have lived in four US states and three foreign countries and have been fortunate to travel quite a bit,though not nearly enough. I enjoy having surfers over so I can vicariously experience their travel journeys.

I am motivated to travel and want to see as many places as I can. II have been fortunate to see many amazing places in this world and to live in some rather unique places. Now, I have a full time job that doesn't really give me much time off. I like to read and write and keep myself busy and active. I love good music and great conversations. I am extremely laid back and easy to get along with. I don't do drugs or drink, but still love to go out and have a good time. That's part of the reason for traveling.

PHILOSOPHY

life is all about the yellow dots.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been living in places that don't exactly get a lot of couchsurfing travelers, but always happy to host anyone. If you are passing through town, let me know.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a novice. Certainly slept on my share of couches and floors and had plenty sleep on mine all before I heard of this website. I have hosted several times and it has always been a good experience.
