CURRENT MISSION

Loving what I do for a living and trying to make the best of everything, love to travel and meet new people. Love my life in the Yukon but also need to experience foreign cultures. Have limited financial resources so need to be prudent.

ABOUT ME

Single, have one Black Labrador Retriever. Drive a Yukon XL in winter and a 1974 VW Westfalia in summer. Love to go camping in my 1974 VW Westphalia which I have been travelling with for over 42 years. Love to Scuba Dive and explore new destinations. Travel day-by-day, taking it as it comes. Carpe Diem ...

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem - if you can not think of 3 "valid" reasons to not do something, then go do it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far, I have just been hosting CouchSurfers but look forward to doing my own surfing when I next travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Historically, I have been pleasantly run a muck with CouchSurfers, somewhere around 25 different travellers over the past number of years!

It has been great to meet new friends and to share stories and laughs ;-)
