About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Just wandering around.

ABOUT ME

I don’t travel anywhere near as much as I used to. Stages of life.

PHILOSOPHY

Leave things better than you found them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We live in a very tiny studio apartment right now, so we're mostly interested in seeing who is available to host us. We're both very quiet and low-key--and excellent couch-guests. Once we get a bigger place in Chicago (or wherever else we end up), we'll be more than happy to host anyone who happens to come our way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met a few couch surfers through friends, but neither Tracy nor I have slept on many strangers' couches.

Interests

The Internet! ping-pong (table tennis), tennis, exploring, wandering, eating, reading, talking about the differences between the USA and the rest of the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Long Walk, by Slavomir Rawicz.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have gone over 100 miles per hour on a motorcycle. It's very similar to falling out of an airplane.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’d be happy to share a meal with anyone who will have my company.
