CURRENT MISSION

I want to learn, travel, and continue to experience life!

ABOUT ME

While I was born in Minnesota, I grew up in Nambe, New Mexico and Arkansas City, Kansas. I love to learn and read. Thank God traveling is part of both of those endeavors! My wife, Rose, has traveled far more than I have. She was born in Korea and has lived in Hawaii, Okinawa, and Riga, Latvia. She has also spent a month in France and several weeks in Bolivia. We are both teachers - Rose in English and me in History. I am currently working on my PhD. at the University of Sheffield, while she is looking to begin her masters degree soon.

PHILOSOPHY

Love, live and let live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Because I live in a small midwestern town, I tend to be the couch surfer more than the host. But anyone that wants to experience the quite country life is more than welcome at our country home. I am usually doing research wherever I go, so I don't stay out late partying...unless my host wants to go out. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had great experiences in England and the States.

Interests

History, politics, cultures - any culture - books, football (soccer), I coach and play the sport!

Music, Movies, and Books

Wow, where to start. Dan Brown books are good, as well as anything by Edward Abby, Douglas Adams books have been a mainstay in my family for years! We like all music, and Rose sings so anything from hard rock, to western swing is good.
