CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world and meet new and interesting people, learn something new

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in southern California, spend time traveling as often as possible between contract work assignments. I currently reside in West Haven, CT,about 1 hr 45 by train into NYC and 2hr 15 min by car/bus to Boston . I'm usually working most weekends in Boston.My passions are languages, travel, and culture, hiking and brewing craft beer with a talented home Brewer friend Ed. When I travel, I like to meet and talk to people about their home town or the place I'm currently visiting .

PHILOSOPHY

We only have one life , so we need to live it at our fullest, no looking back. I try hard to " not have any regrets" . I believe being a gracious person helps us grow, as does experiencing new places and people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I receive updates automatically if people are interested in hosting or looking for a host wherever I'm at currently....

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Once again the Russians have saved the day ! Thanks so much Taras and Daria for introducing me to your magnificent city, Moscow ! They were the first wonderful humans to take a chance on me, and tell me so much about their city and chat and tour with me as well. I wish more Csurfers would be more honorable when I travel, many other people from other countries would not answer my messages or they would answer, plan to meet me , but make up excuses in the last minute. This is a waste of my time , if you're apprehensive or in doubt, don't . Saying you're available then changing one's mind in the last minute is not the CS experience I'm looking for .

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy all genres of music, but my favorite is hard rock. I do enjoy chamber/orchestras when visiting European cities, and club music when I'm in a party mood, so it really depends the time, city , and place, and my mood for the music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I witnessed the destructive forces of "mother nature" when I lived in Mississippi and Hurricane Katrina destroyed my home. It wasn't a positive experience, but amazing nonetheless , living in Iceland was the most positive memory in my life. The nightlife, hiking it's awe inspiring landscape, my friends, witnessing the Northern lights a bunch of times simply Amazing
