I am eclectic and love life! I listen to almost every type of music on the planet, and can enjoy all of it as well. I watch very little TV, news once in a while, but love movies. One of my biggest hobbies is cooking, and love to explore new recipes and dishes all the time. I enjoy the world and what it has to offer. I don't judge (surely try not to). I am spiritually aware, somewhat religious - more spiritual than religious, but have studied with many different religions in my lifetime - Catholic, Orthodoxies, Judaism, Buddhism, Jehovah's Witness, Baptist/So Baptist, Mormon, Lutheran, Presbyterian, and more. Many of my closes friends throughout my life have been Atheist or Agnostic. I am open to all faiths and beliefs as I am a firm believer we are here on this planet for each other and to be good human beings to our fellow man and beast. I am straight, but embrace all styles of life and love and do not judge. Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get, and you enjoy all of it - regardless.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To expand, travel and grow as a person. I also travel often between the California Gold Country, Sacramento, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Oakland California. I enjoy meeting new people and hearing stories as well as telling stories too.

Interests

As I said earlier, I'm eclectic. I enjoy Acid Rock to Classical music and everything in between. I enjoy cooking, movies, magic, photography, rafting, reading, technology, writing, business, antiques, collectibles, music memorabilia, history, spirituality, health, radio, broadcasting, events, hospitality, art, entertainment, and film. Walking and walking in the rain. I enjoy snow and all of the seasons.
