Retired teacher, traveling on the cheap. Long distance hiker, twice thru hike the AT, working on section hiking the Florida Trail. Spent the last to Northern Hemisphere winters in New Zealand, hiking Te Araroa. Would have gone back this year if not for covid.

Vaccinated against covid!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card is my favorite book. I love all hard science fiction though.
Music - I listen to almost anything, don't like most rap or country. I do like country-rock though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Thru hike the Appalachian Trail - once Northbound and once Southbound.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lots of life experience, good conversation, stories, humor.
