I am semi-retired after a long career in holistic health and research. A long term NewYork City resident. I decided to travel after retiring. I began with 2.5 months working and volunteering in Nepal. Now I am staying with friends in Canada and working on a teaching English program, in hopes to use that as I travel more. I am planning a a multi country Asia trip for winter 2018/19.

I would like to offer to accept guest, but cannot, as I am not in my own place at present.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeeting new people. In both my careers acupuncture and anthropology, I ask questions and listen to people's answers.
Also, I hope to be able to travel and remain economical. CS helps with that, and who knows. perhaps I could even meet a travel partner.
