About Me

I have a very busy summer work schedule. Working nights and weekends. Some weekends I will take it easy. I set my available dates accordingly.

I enjoy soaking in other cultures. Eating foods that others eat, especially if it's something very different! I like meeting kind-hearted people and sharing stories of experiences. If I were to pick my favorite thing to do, it would be sitting around a campfire with beers, cooking food on the open fire, and enjoying some good company. I like to brew and drink beer. But I do not drink hard alcohol. I want to remember the fun times I have had. I really enjoy seeing nature and hiking, especially in a land that's new to me. Hanging out with someone who does not speak English is not a deal breaker for me. Though it may be a little difficult, I have Google translate on my phone, and I try to learn as much as I can before and while traveling. My number one interest of something to do with a traveler would be either bring a keg of beer to the woods where we can make a fire to drop some steaks on right on some raw hot coals, or bring a couple bottles of wine to the hot springs and build a dam to see how heavy the stones we can lift and how far we can raise the water levels in the springs.

I like many kinds of music. Mainly Rock. Country. Blues. Irish folk music. Sometimes metal sometimes classical Most anything from the 90s. Though my most favorite are mashups.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have many various experiences in so many jobs and hobbies! Far too many to list on here. I have traveled much in my younger years and slept on many couches before I knew of couch surfing.

Lots of wild stories. Can fix things around the house if tools are provided. Maybe some company over dinner out on the town.
