greetings, i come from active participation in servas, a worldwide peace/homestay org affiliated with the UN where members can host each other during travel, hosting in manhattan for 20 years was an awesome experience matched by being hosted when i traveled; participating when i'm able to in couchsurfing adds to the fulfilling experience of meeting travelers for cultural exchanges; since moving to Cancun in the 2020 pandemic, i'm limiting hosting to ONE person, for the best host/traveler match:' **i'm sorry i can not accommodate late evening arrivals, guests who plan nighttime partying nor travelers who previously stayed in crowded mexican hostals unwittingly breeding breakthrough infections + bed bugs** also remote nomads are not welcome, I'm not in CS to accommodate your work requirements/environment :))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i appreciate my experience with the art of hosting, i like the concept of home sharing with like-minded members, interactive conversation/culture exchange about life/world circumstances, current events, etc, over coffee in the morning is a fulfilling and meaningful opportunity to spread peace understanding and good spirit

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

restarted the servas org in egypt years after the government shut it down, met many enthusiastic brave young egyptians willing to really go for it and made it happen, i listened and learned much

Teach, Learn, Share

i've visited many countries throughout europe many times; egypt; lived in china for 8 months, vietnam, different parts of brasil are awesome , meeting locals makes the world a smaller place :)
