About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see what's out there...the good and the bad

ABOUT ME

As someone who has grown up in Florida, I am a beach lover. I love America and plan to live out my life there eventually, but seeing the rest of the cultures in this world is too great to pass up so I am living abroad and looking for as many people to tell me about their homelands. I am fascinated by how different life is everywhere I go.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live...and try not to complain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed with many people but have probably hosted twice as many.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed on couches throughout Europe and Asia, almost every single one of them was a great experience. Same thing with hosting, I have had guests from all over and it's been great sharing stories with so many fellow travelers.

Interests

I love sampling wine and beer. I used to be a distributor in the wine business and love trying new kinds. Like any guy I love sports and really want to attend Futbal games while in Europe to see the fanaticism for myself. I enjoy napping, cartoons from my childhood, non-fiction books, exercise, laughing at myself, and like everyone else on the CS project I love travelling.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies - Too numerous to list all, but I love comedies like Big Lebowski, Caddyshack, Spaceballs, Fletch, Three Amigos, Army of Darkness.

Music - Almost anything

Books - I like books that most people find boring like biographies, and books about history, politics and economics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with whale sharks in the Philippines turned out to be the best thing I have ever done. I did not expect it to be so amazing and thought it would just be something for the checklist. something that I would just say I did but not enjoy the experience that much. it turns out that I was stunned how great it was...
