CURRENT MISSION

Eat, drink, and laugh with as many people around the world as possible.

ABOUT ME

I decided after getting laid off from a successful telecommunications career, I would travel rather than find another job. I was brought up traveling, first within my home state of California and slowly moving beyond my own borders. I visited Europe for the first time in 2003 and have been addicted ever since. I love trying new food, new drinks, and learning about history but my favorite part about traveling is meeting new people and learning about new cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

You have to get past your fears to truly enjoy life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At this point I'll be traveling and wouldn't be able to host but hopefully after a few months I'll settle down and share with new friends all of the local sights of wherever I end up.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have no experience with couch surfing but my close friend lives in Madrid and swears by this site. It's a great way to meet new people and I know her experiences have led to many new friendships and adventures.

Music, Movies, and Books

Any movie by Christopher Guest is a good one.
My musical taste includes pretty much everything but I haven't yet developed an appreciation for opera.
I read mostly historical novels and non-fiction books about relevant current events. And Mad Magazine.
