About Me

CURRENT MISSION

About to embark upon a mystery tour. Where it will take me, I know not. Planning on starting in Europe then ?? Following the sun between hemispheres I'll likely go to South America, maybe Australia, or somewhere in the Asia tropics. My travel resume has increased a fair bit over the last 10 years, now it's time to really crank it up.

ABOUT ME

I am an easygoing, honest, sometimes quiet, until you get to know me kind of guy. When I get in a good mood and comfortable I can be pretty funny and I am always nice. Good guest.

Don't let my age fool you, it's better My last name be your guide as to how I act. I'm often as energetic as the people I am hiking with.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat people well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will soon be on the road (mid July '23). I like meeting people for events, hosting hikes and road trips.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haves organizes little trips to places in California, I've met a lot of people here and abroad. Usually very good experiences.

Interests

Anything outdoors. Hikes, drives, lakes, oceans, wildlife, gold prospecting, exploring, baseball, american football, meeting cool people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Science fiction, comedies,
I'm constantly changing channels on the radio, but often like older things, pop, light rock, sports talk.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took a biking trip up the Australian Coast from Sydney to Brisbane.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I enjoy teaching English to those who are struggling. I love teaching pronunciation as well. It's quite challenging but fun.
As I am a massage therapist formerly at Google until the layoffs, if you feel a little broken, I can probably help. I'll share any other bits of wisdom I may have. Definitely not computers though. My only motto with computers is, "reboot, reboot and reboot. If that doesn't work, maybe a hammer will"

What I Can Share with Hosts

Humor, really good therapeutic massage, English skills. I like to cook, but not a gourmet.

Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Swaziland, Switzerland
