Hoping to Host and meeting Great new people!
ABOUT ME
** Currently, I'm living near Hazen, Jefferson County, PA 15825. Surfers still very welcome! Please, Call me at 814.328.9900 (and leave your number) after you send your surf request here on CS. I don't get online to check my messages very often.** ((if you don't reach me at the number above, my mobile phone is: 814.715.2450))
All about me... hmmmm. I'm an open minded country boy who loves to travel and meet new people. I enjoy long, in depth conversations, hanging out with friends in a conversation friendly atmosphere, having a few drinks, playing cards and other "table" games. I like a bit of auto work/repair, keeping a vegetable garden (!!!), fixing things, working with my hands. Giving and receiving Massage is Wonderful (I am a trained Massage Therapist). I enjoy cooking for others! I'm not the best cook in the world or anything, but I'm not bad. Hey, just ask... I'm a pretty open book ;.-)
**One thing that I like for people to know is that I'm gay. It's not who I am, but it is an important part of my life ;.-)**
PHILOSOPHY
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Live and let live. Make love not war. Broaden your mind, broaden your horizons. Give peace a chance. Monkey see monkey do. Don't pee into the wind. Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna' get!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've been a surfer in many great homes and made so many great friends. Now I want to host as many people as I can. I live in a rural (country side) area, but I have a car and I'm willing to drive. I continue to send notice to all of my facebook and e-mail friends, and tell whoever will listen to me about this great project.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have surfed a few "couches" in my life before finding CS.org, and have had wonderful experiences with it. It a fabulous way to meet Real people and live the True culture of a place. (2000) Ireland was amazing for me and I feel bad for all of the tourists who only get to see the surface. ** From 2000 to Now, I've surfed many wonderful places and have had such Great experiences since then!!!**
