About Me

I live on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska. I am a retired pharmacist who likes to travel and meet new people. I will be traveling via hitchhiking and will have my tent and sleeping bag with me. So tent space would also be appreciated should there be no space on your couch.
I’ve ridden a motorcycle in 38 countries and I’ve visited a total of 68 countries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am an adventure traveler. I like to travel as cheaply as possible. I find that this is the best way to meet new friends. I am hoping I will be able to reciprocate the lodging favor to other travelers should they ever venture to our area of rural Alaska.
