I'd like to connect with more like-minded people. Have recently (July 2016) moved to the Des Moines, IA area. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Joined in 2010, and tried it in 2010

Amazing thing I've done: change my moods to being positive, thinking about the welfare of others sometimes, hopefully more and more. Some neat places I've seen: Saw a very large stingray, and very large sea turtle and 2 dolphins tonight at the St. Augustine, FL pier. Have climbed the Great Wall and taken a boat down to the Three Gorges Dam. Been to Haifa, Israel four times. Drove through NM and AZ. Went on an "Elvis" night hike in a Phoenix desert park.
