One grown son, married to a Cartoonist, Illustrator. I work in the Purchasing field.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Enjoy sacred conversations with people I have yet to get to know and traveling.

Interests

Hiking, yoga, going to hear live music, reading when I get the chance. I don't like spending time on activities that don't "lift me up" in some way.
I'm spiritual in the sense that I appreciate thoughtful people who don't claim to "know the truth" about every detail of life's mysteries. My church is about as "progressive" as they come in the "deep south".

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm loving Southern Rock/Blues right now, e.g. Delta Moon, Rosanne Cash, Also like "Over The Rhine" from Ohio -

My most treasured years were the 80's and the sound of a devoted garage band.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sat in the cockpit of a brand new 777 as it flew over the North Pole. We need to protect this vast land of ice.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been a Corporate Travel Manager for many years & when I travel for fun I don't like staying in a hotel. Feels too much like work. But since I have managed hotel programs I could offer a host professional advice if they are looking for business travel insights.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I was raised to be neat and considerate. I'm a listener versus someone who will talk non stop. I'm most comfortable in low key environments. Definitely a non smoker now. I like all kinds of music too.
