About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Maintain and support hopeless, controversial causes

I have been hosting internationals for many years even before CS existed. I have yet to be a guest through CS but hope to try that soon.

PHILOSOPHY

"Life is not a dress rehearsal" " There is no limit to what you can accomplish if you do care who gets the credit", "He has the right to agitate who has the heart to help"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURF, I enjoy hosting in my newly furnished guest bedroom w private bath, fully stocked like an Air B&B. I prefer hotels while I'm traveling overseas. If timing permits, I enjoy treating guests to a night out and a tour of what the area has to offer. As I continue to travel, I am interested in weekly rentals in Pensacola , Tampa and Des Des Monies. New phone number 628 946 8222
