I am an educator and businessman from Alaska who needs to leave the arctic dark and cold every winter. I want to travel for at least a month sometime between November and March every year. Just looking for some sunshine and warm while meeting some new people. I have a home and small farm here in Alaska and host people here as well as travel during my winter months. I'm a fairly quiet soul. I try to be healthy, don't smoke or drink. I'm not much of a partier. But I'm not nearly as boring as I may sound either. I just discovered couchsurfing before Covid closed the world. (Summer 2025- If anyone wants to potentially extend their stay with me for a few weeks and help me work on my floor- I recently had knee surgery and can't kneel- I would be open to a slightly more extended stay??? I'll put a picture in the photos)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The idea of a community of travelers is a wonderful thought for me. I have a spare bedroom and ideas I'm very willing to exchange for similar hospitality. Interacting with other humans can transform an otherwise typical vacation into something meaningful, maybe even productive. There are many places I have yet to see. And I've still never met you...
