I am a retired high school Spanish/Social Studies teacher who loves traveling, good people, good music (mainly pre-1990), history, ideas, language, pleasant and authentic locations and simple living. Those who know me would say that I'm more adventurous than most while at the same time conservative in many ways and down to earth.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I've done a lot of couch surfing in my time, but mostly years ago and not with people I haven't met yet. Spending lots of money isn't my style. I've just recently learned about staying in hostels on a Latin American trip and find it's not only inexpensive but allows you to stay in authentic places and make friends with interesting people. I've learned about Couchsurfing now and it seems to be a similar way to do the same.

教，学，和分享

I'd like to better perfect my Spanish and learn to be functional in French.
I know much of the Bible, church history and comparative religion and enjoy sharing and discussing those subjects with like-minded or reasonable folks.
