I'm a foodie, a yoga lover, an entrepreneur, health nut, and world traveler. I seek new and rich experiences routinely. I'm a compulsive researcher on scientific studies, always working to get the facts on what I'm interested in. I'm currently developing a business. It's not new, but is in a new and exciting phase. I've been an entrepreneur for most of my life now, always working on projects that I believe truly help people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's so much nicer to stay with new friends than in a hotel! I have been a member for many years but have not really been active. In the spirit of couch-surfing, however, I've often met people and stayed with them or met people who have stayed with me. I'm finally giving this a try, hoping to meet someone who will be a long-term friend, as the others have been.
