ABOUT ME

Just an old guy trying to do his best. Sometimes I get pretty close to good, other times... But I endeavor to persevere.

PHILOSOPHY

First, do no harm.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've gone to a few events and met fellow hosts. And I have hosted quite a few times.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a nice couple and their new baby as my first guests. They were great and I learned about Central America.
Then a Kiwi who taught me about working in New Zealand and opened my eyes about how the country really works.
Then a nice guy from Nevada who liked Waianae so much he wants to buy a condo there.
I haven't couchsurfed yet but hop to do so.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flew an ultra-light aircraft from New York to Washington, D.C. one week, and I saw kittens being born once.

Teach, Learn, Share

Taught a seven year old how to use a computer because his mother was nursing anew baby. He in turn taught his 12 year old sister, who used the computer and Net to write a paper for school which rated an 'A,' and his mother, who now used the computer to run a natural food lunch takeout.
