I am a late-50s widower raising two teenagers; we have been on our own since 2007. They are both heading to college soon.

I was born in Mexico City and lived there 19 years. I came to the USA to attend college and ended up staying (all legal). I lived in Upstate NY for 10 years and then moved to South Carolina and have been here for 30 years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel from time to time as a Good Samaritan. I volunteer with RAMUSA and help at free health clinics throughout the country. In my retirement I intend to be a Good Samaritan nomad, helping along the way as a travel throughout the USA , Canada and Mexico.
