Recently retired from my job of 18 years at a small metal fab shop and have chosen a life of frugality over work. Built a camper trailer with solar panels and am ready to explore what life has to offer. Spring of 2019 I am touring the Gulf States.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I Have dreamed of world travel since I was young but never found the courage to step off of the hamster's wheel they call the "American Dream." am ready to travel as long and far as I can manifest. Getting my Vagabond legs by starting with the many wonders to see hear in America. Would love to connect with adventurous peoples because that's what makes traveling experiences great- the connections you make along the way.
