CURRENT MISSION

RAOK, Finish my degrees and help others see the world, in turn I would like to travel forth and see more of the world

ABOUT ME

I like fat tire bicycles (vintage), remarque etchings, traveling the world and meeting people who use their head for more than just a hat rack.

PHILOSOPHY

Be good, be kind

"Never lie, cheat, steal, or drink...but if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must cheat, cheat death. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. And if you must drink, drink to the moments that take your breath away."

We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give. Winston Churchill

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My couch is initially open for weekends, with the potential for greater lengths of stays as the success rate climbs.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Actually I have been coach surfing for more than thirty years. As a former hang glider pilot and long distance bicycle rider I would often find myself in places, knowing noone, with no place to stay, with but a pittance in my pocket - so I would knock on a strangers door and ask for a sofa to sleep on for the evening. In exchange I would be their raconteur for the evening.
