I'm hitting that middle age total denial phase - former top national track athlete, I can still do things folks on their 30s wish they could but age is age. After years supporting a family, recent divorce now allows me the freedom to travel solo and further explore the world. I live outside yet close to NYC and offer a glimpse into the city and the natural beauty around it. Would like to meet open explorers who aren't uptight yet also responsible with good senses of humor. I listen to tunes from Dubstep to Opera, enjoy great cuisine of all ethnicities and outdoor adventures. I don't get involved in politics but studied them enough to have intelligent conversations. I work in financial services and have a mellow intensity libertarian kinda vibe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet like minded people, share experiences of growth and explore the world.
