About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To share with people, reach out and really "touch" people (emotionally not physically, LOL) assist in helping people complete their "bucket list" while on this earth.

ABOUT ME

I love travel, adventure, young people, studying human behavior, ocean activities (sailing, snorkeling, etc)trying new things, and thinking outside the box. I think there is something to be learned from everyone I meet and hopefully someone can learn something from me.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in a higher power. I think by loving people, I am doing God's work. I believe I should live each day like it is my last day on earth. I think we are all here to help each other live life to the fullest. I believe in obeying the laws of the land and being respectful of others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will try most anything (within reason and my value system)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not had a Couchsurfing experience yet. This is a new adventure.

Interests

sailing, snorkeling, singing, biking (within reason for a 74 year old very soon to be 75) ) learning more about different cultures. I do not box. I said "think outside the box" There is a big difference, LOL

  • singing
  • boating
  • traveling
  • cycling
  • snorkeling
  • sailing

Music, Movies, and Books

I like movies of human interest (I am NOT a Stephen King fan) I like almost all types of music. El Divo is one of my favorite groups. I like James Grisham books. I am a political activist.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I sailed my Cal 25' from one island to another and had a whale breach right in front of my boat. I have watched as a patient who the medical world thought was brain dead wake up and tell me God loved me when he had said nothing to no one for several months.

Teach, Learn, Share

I learned a long time ago to be my best friend and I work at changing me daily to become the person that I want for a best friend. It is an ongoing creative adventure. I make mistakes and have to correct them because if I don't they come around again and again......

What I Can Share with Hosts

As little or as much of philosophies I have developed through life's experiences. I can share that at going on 75, I have the energy, drive, adventurous spirit, motivation, ability to not give up, and the desire to complete any bucket list I set.

I also would make a great host to help someone to make as much of my area as possible.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Austria, England, France, Germany, New Zealand, Spain

Countries I’ve Lived In

New Zealand, United States
