I have been travelling since i was a teenager. I wished we had the internet then. I own a large house in the suburbs of Ottawa with very good bus connections to downtown . My two sons live with me (29 and 23).

Por que estou no Couchsurfing
When my children were young we traveled as a family for 4 years. We sailed around the world in an old steel ketch. We had so many people helping us in all places of the world that I feel it is time to help some travelers now.
Música, Filmes e Livros
I like almost all kinds of music with the exception of rap and jazz. My favorite authors are Wilbur Smith, James Michener, Jeffrey Archer, Dan Brown, Ken Follett. I will think of more.
Uma Coisa Incrível Que Já Fiz
There are two main things in my life that were exceptional. I sailed around the world with my family 1997 to 2001 and I smuggled a girl out of East Germany in 1977.
Ensinar, Aprender, Compartilhar
