I tell my wife that I am a lucky guy. I have enjoyed the love of a beautiful woman and been married to her for thirty-one years. She has given me three strong, smart, witty, handsome sons that are my dearest friends and my greatest treasure. My faithful companion is my border collie, Bella. I have enjoyed great food, good times, and traveled the world. I have never had great monetary wealth nor have I suffered extreme poverty. Although I am well acquainted with physical challenges and at times great pain, my love of life and insatiable curiosity propel me forward. I am fascinated by all things spiritual/metaphysical and how they relate to the physical. I am on the great soul tour called life, it is an amazing journey and I am not sure how far it will go. Join me!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel! To travel without getting to know the people, without really interacting, is like looking at a good meal through a window and never really experiencing the aroma or the taste of the food. My wife Laurie and I sold our home in 2015, gave away most of our stuff, put the rest in storage, and bought one-way tickets to Shanghai. We have been traveling for the past 2 1/2 years and visited twenty-one countries :)
