CURRENT MISSION
I just want to meet people to learn about their culture and to share mine.I feel this is the way to make people realize as much as we are different,we are very much the same. Too much emphasis on how we are different than how we are similar.

Adventurous but cautious. Inquisitive,diplomatic,considerate,very loyal and caring.
I have a great sense of humor that always keeps me upbeat.I dont get down that much.LOVE MUSIC and DANCING!I also sing occasionally for small events or celebrations

Im always laughing and joking.I often put others before myself.I love making others happy.
I have all over the world while on assignment for the US Air Force but now I am self employed starting a new business in real estate
PHILOSOPHY

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.I give respect always until a reason is given to take it away.I take people at how they present themselves to me.Im flawed so I cant possibly expect others to be perfect.So I tend to be am more patient than others.
Im a Georgia Native and am proud of my roots but I love to search the world of things Ive not yet experienced. Always open to new ideas and places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

You will ALWAYS have things to do and communicate with many other Couchsurfers instantly!

I host mainly. I surfed once as I am not able to sleep easily outside of home and have to have good aleeping arrangements.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
It was better in the beginning and is still great however many people nowadays just want a cheap place to stay and put no effort into even completing their profiles.
More people need to understand that someone is allowing you into their home and they need to to know as much as possible about who they are letting in.
I JUST IGNORE REQUEST OF THOSE WHO PUT LITTLE TO NO EFFORT IN THEIR OWN PROFILES.

In the few years hosting, have I hosted some wonderful people from around the world.All of then I can say we bonded and really enjoyed each others company.This is a great thing to experience.I recommend it to EVERYONE.
