About Me

I am a retired Fine Arts professor, Rutgers University, Newark, NJ.
I have been renovating my home installing a new kitchen, adding a 1/2 bathroom and laundry room.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Last summer My friend introduced me to couchsurfing where we travelled throughout Europe for 40 days, 40 nights - Absolutely wonderful! I felt like I was on a cultural and cuisine tour. Seeing different parts of Europe, meeting people and tasting the stunning variety of food just made me want to do more.
