I have a coed house of roommates ranging in the early 20's and the 30's. We have a guest room and a media room that can accommodate people.

I'm a recently, medically retired soldier. I still own my currently inactive business, Body Rhythm, Inc., as a personal trainer and massage therapist. I still have my mobile disc jockey equipment that was a hobby business.

I'm a mostly nonjudgmental person, but I'm not pushy about my views unless it involves something that hurts others. I respect and protect people's rights to believe or do unless it is violent or endangers others. Then I'll be on my high horse. Some of my clients and friends have been gay. I hate smoke and will absolutely avoid it and don't want to be in a house with it or have a guest that does. It's very rare for me to drink and won't be doing in your place as a matter of respect as much as safety or security for myself. I don't want people coming in drunk to my place if you're couching with me. Religiously, I'm agnostic and my roommates have differing views. Anyone choosing to engage in discussion of various viewpoints should always be respectful as this is just about meeting others and broadening our experiences. Absolutely no drugs including 420 (marijuana).

Countries visited; Japan, Canada, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, May 2018 France, and May 2018 Ireland.

I became very active on airbnb (air bnb), and am a superhost, to help pay for upgrades to my house. I'm transitioning back to some couchsurfing this summer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet locals and stay cheaper than hotels. Have some really fun, and unique experiences.

Interests

I personally am into working out, soccer, DIY, movies/tv (especially discovery, big bang theory, game of thrones, history, comedy, etc), art, culture, architecture, antique/thrift shopping, playing games (board, RPG, social), bowling, outdoor activities, motorcycles and more to take in life. I'm SCUBA certified also.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to anything but gangster rap and screaming/screeching music (heavy metal). My favorites are oldies, eighties, pop and alternative rock, top 40's, and country. I listen to world music as well. It's kind of a given because I'm a massage therapist.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Impacted and changed a client's physical, emotional, and philosophical life so much that when she was killed in a freak scuba accident her family asked me to give her eulogy.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've done DIY, and I'm into the health and fitness scene.
