Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

new at this
host when can sort it out
would love to surf
spend too much time trying to find someone to host me and my family
this site is best for singles 95% of the tine
too bad

all is TIME
need time with host
need time with guest
All we have in life IS time!

have a tent outside or emergency spot
two children make life busy and VERY interesting!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

have been around the world, slept almost everywhere from hedge in Belgium, to beach in new zealand, tents all over, and a few fantastic people who have opened their spare rooms to me on the road
this is far more organized than that

looking fwd to participating

as stated life is more complicated
have put up a few world travelers and more than willing to offer help to anyone who asks for it
just give some notice please

with children and a wife
world travels have put me on a lot of sleeping surfaces!
i can sleep on concrete

Interests

traveling have been busy with our shop and kids last few years and trying to have a positive print on the world as i pass through it
somehow

  • running
  • shopping
  • traveling
  • business
  • beaches

Music, Movies, and Books

Love Micheners stuff
just about anything with a good story
life is too short for bad books and movies, so try to avoid them
"where the hell is Matt" on internet
very inspiring

makes me smile anyway!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many to mention
Year 2000 hiked Kilimanjaro new years eve
Hitched from lhasa to kathmadu
>>the view coming from Lhasa as u come "down" on the Himalayas from the back of a dump truck

we can chat when i see you!

Teach, Learn, Share

life is interesting
dont stop moving
"sitting and waiting for it to come to you
is a waste of time"
me

DO something and something WILL happen
sitting still is NOT the answer

What I Can Share with Hosts

i have travel stories and an interest in the world. My family is a blend and all are more than social. Love to meet new people and get new ideas flowing in the confines of my island mentality :)
