About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make the world a better place one party at a time.

ABOUT ME

Just turned 49 and don't know where the time or miles have gone! I still feel 23 and am still naive and hopeful about most things! The glass is always half full because the alternative is a total bummer!

PHILOSOPHY

He who travels lightest travels the furthest.

Battlecry: "It's an adventure!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We host CSers in Buffalo and entertain them as much as our schedules allow (we're pretty flexible!) Friends and family jump in to entertain and chauffeur to Niagara Falls if need be.
While travelling I look forward to meeting fellow couchsurfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I wish it was a available when I was sleeping under trees or in caves!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitched from St. Johann in Tirol to Athens in 1983. I didn't know much about Yugoslavia at that time,but quickly learned through immersion.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn a dish from your culture! I'll shop, we cook, it ends up on one of my menus!
We can share whatever two English teachers, banker, restaurateur, travellers, book lovers, animal lovers, nature lovers have learned so far.
