About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To have fun with people from all over the World

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy-going, fun-loving, sociable guy... and now that I've clearly defined who I am...
I love grabbing a beverage, hanging on a patio and meeting new people. I made it to the finals in a bocce tourney and am down to do most any sport involving an ocean, a mountain or anything in between (except bowling).
I enjoy talking about most anything and, though a bit opinionated at times, I do appreciate other points of view.

PHILOSOPHY

To always be open to growing, learning, changing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
