Emigrated to Canada in 1981 after meeting my now ex wife in Greece. Worked as an general duty and ICU/ER RN for more than 28 years. Retired in 2014 and separated in 2015. Have always loved travelling and my other great passion is horticulture. Work as a landscaper 3-4 days a week. Drive humanitarian supplies down to Guatemala each January in my car and usually help out with a small local development organization for 2-3 months and stay with the volunteer families.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I pay my entire trip to Guatemala out of my own pocket . Between accomodation, insurance, gas and food it frequently pushes me to my financial limit. Any help in keeping costs down is a blessing.
Music, Movies, and Books
Love all latino music. Love books on history, architecture, archeology.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Emigrated to a new country and start a new life
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach younger people about the danger of taking democracy for granted being from a country that was under fascist occupation for 5 years. Lean about other habits and beliefs from a variety of different cultures. Share our humanity by emphasizing what we have in common.
