I have spent a lot of time in the Philippines over the last 9 years.

My 2 passions in life are: music ( I play guitar and piano ) and Tai Chi/Qi Gong ( I teach ).

I love the outdoors, especially beaches.

I'm pretty easy going, except I don't like smoking and do my best only to put healthy food into my body.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel for my work and someone suggested I try couchsurfing, so here I am.

I expect I will be doing some "heavy" traveling around California the next few years. I also have 2 daughters in Oregon, so expect to be making trips up there as well.

Interests

As I mentioned above, Playing Music and Tai Chi.

While abroad I have spent time learning more about the global financial situation on our planet, and it's really amazing to see how things work for a different perspective than living in the USA.

Music, Movies, and Books

So much good music, hard to make a list. Depends on my mood. Honestly I would rather play music than listen to it.
