About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Connect with other earthlings.

ABOUT ME

I am married with 3 adult children. We travel often and widely outside the USA. We are a multicultural family and think this Couch Surfing idea is really cool.

PHILOSOPHY

We are not what we think we are, but rather what we think, we are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have surfed so far in Europe and NYC.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, so far 5 times, in Germany, France, Spain and Morocco. Wow, this is really cool..made friends, had a blast and still going on! Just as an example of something this CS does...within a few minutes of one stay, we were listening to Trapist Monks chat in an ancient monastery...something no tour or traditional stay would have ever exposed us to.

We have also hosted a guy from Germany and some other folks from France.
