CURRENT MISSION Provide good travel karma to fellow travelers. ABOUT ME Outdoorsy type, but also enjoy the comforts of home. PHILOSOPHY I've always loved the Bed and Breakfast experience when traveling and have entertained the idea of my own one day. Travelers simply have instant connections with each other - it's special in that strangers can become instant friends so far from home. Opening your world and trust to another is a wonderful experience, both in the giving and receiving.

我为什么使用Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Happy to host travelers and find hosts on my journeys. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE When traveling through WY on a 6-week road trip, a friend of a friend kindly let me car camp in his side yard and make use of the kitchen and bathroom. On an overnight stop in Boulder, a friend of a friend hosted us for the evening in their wonderful setting. The list goes on - always warm and welcoming hearts, always willing to pay it forward.
音乐、电影与书籍
Music playing often in the house. Good selection of books, fiction and non-fiction (I read regularly). Movie fan. Not a TV / broadcast fan.
我做过的一件令人惊叹的事
One!? I climbed Ama Dablam (mountain in the Himalayas), independent team. Nature on a grand scale often leaves me awestruck: the Grand Canyon, Yosemite Valley, and just about anywhere in Alaska to name a few. The stars viewed from a remote location such as Death Valley have captured me for hours. Canadian Rockies always amaze.
教学、学习、分享
Happy to chat about goals and plans for achieving them, books, music, movies, technology, fitness, travel, ideas, or anything. Depending upon timing, may have a lot of time to share with you or be on the run. Have plenty of knowledge and experience on personal finance management / financial independence and happy to talk, advise, and discuss your goals or any questions. Rum lover with lots of insights to share. I'm not into sports entertainment (most are in Pittsburgh), so won't be joining any games.
