Just a mellow clean, out doors person who is not afraid to live a little more like our Europe neighbors. No smoking, no excess alcohol or loud things. I am a retired pipefitter but still do some things, enjoy gardening and keeping some flower beds looking good. 'May All Your Weeds Be Wildflowers' is a sign on the front of my house.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't mind sharing space and occasionally need an efficient space. I don't mind camping in the back yard if it's suitable.

Interests

Backpacking, kayaking, river cleanups, volunteering for Eco events, a little music here and there and building things.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music; Jerry Vandiver, John Prine, John Denver. I usually don't have music on all day long. It just becomes background noise.
Movies; some old stuff, Titanic, Pearl Harbor, Australia, some Indy Jones. Dances With Wolves, Blues Bros! I make great popcorn!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacked 4 days & 3 nights in the Grand Canyon! Often I'll be an outfitter on camping river sandbar trips or way up north multi day trips.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some camping trip stories, teach them kayaking, back packing, meal preparation for both (dehydrated) cooking tips, how to ski. How to save money and time!

Countries I’ve Visited
