I love to travel. I especially love being near the ocean; any ocean. I dive, sail, and I really enjoy cooking. I can't say I'm great at any of it, especially cooking; but I'm always happy to share whatever I've made. I am a bit of a nerd, lover of good food and beer, good company, and games.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to connect to like-minded people: travelers, explorers, wanderers, and those who just like to have a good time.

Interests

I enjoy good conversation, reading, playing chess, sailing, diving, snorkeling, learning, beer, wine, good food, live anything, art, and exploration of all sorts.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy exploring, learning, and sharing whatever city is nearest. I want to know where great beer bars, wine spots, and places where games can be played are. I can share my outdoor experiences and knowledge. I've camped and traveled pretty extensively throughout the U.S. And I hope to see much more!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can definitely provide a place to rest if that's all you want/need.

I prefer to host people who are verified and who have references.
