About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to visit as much of the planet as possible!

PHILOSOPHY

My views are fairly simple. Small government that spends wisely. While I do consider myself an independent, I do usually agree with the democrats. To me, the simple life is a great life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to surf when I road trip and I've hosted a few times.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have used CS to find a place to crash when I'm away from home. I have a had very good experiences for the most part. I've hosted twice, and it went well.

Interests

Currently, I'm focusing on yoga. I've taught for 20+ years and I love learning more and more about yoga and Indian medicine and lifestyle.

I love geocaching. Most simply one uses a handheld GPS to find little containers all over the place. This has taken me to MANY interesting places all over the US, Canada and internationally.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have read the entire Harry Potter series. I've also read a handful of books on religion and philosophy. As for movies, I like action and comedies. As for TV, I'm addicted to reality shows.

As I wrote above, I'm studying yoga and Ayurveda.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen: Yellowstone National Park is awe inspiring.
Done: Skydiving (licensed 360+ jumps), zip line in Vancouver, BC (really loved it!). I really enjoy participatory activities, usually outdoors.

Teach, Learn, Share

One thing I have learned traveling all over this great land is to do it by car. I have visited 49 states/7 Providences, and I've seen a lot! Although it is human nature to desire to return to something known or familiar. For me, my little car was my world of commonality. The one thing that never changed. I loved it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have lived in the Las Vegas area for almost 10 years now. I can share info as I know it, it's a very popular tourist location and there is a lot to do! I live far enough away from tourist mayhem to live in a quiet neighborhood.
There is a lot to do in this part of the country too, AZ, UT and CA are very close.

I also can help you get around the area, either by driving myself or helping you with the public transportation system. The buses are really good in our city!
Can't wait to see and meet you!

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Jordan, Mexico, Philippines, Spain, Sweden, United Arab Emirates, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
