I am a retired Army veteran Looking for long distance hiking partners/companions. I am a liberal minded person with an awareness of the entire globe and an appreciation for the uniqueness of each of us. I try not to judge but will confess to falling short at times of that goal. I am 420 friendly, do not drink or any other drugs. Currently struggling with quitting smoking!!! Grrrrr...Young, old, male, female, foreign, domestic.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing in the hopes of finding like-minded people that might like to join me on various hikes. I'm open to suggestions but I am committed to the Florida Trail in December 2025. Looking for some summer hiking. I'm where NE, MO KS meet.

Music, Movies, and Books

Being a product of the 60s and 70s my musical taste tend to favor what's called classic rock and roll. Movies and books I prefer to be comedic or factual but also have a soft spot for good science fiction. I worship Asimov.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know if by amazing folks mean amazingly stupid or amazingly brilliant. I've done plenty of the former but I'm not sure I've ever done anything in the latter category. I'm definitely want something to put in it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love history, hiking, camping, Labradors and nature. The best things in life are free!!! I love young people and fresh ideas.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am not currently looking for a host but in the event this changes all I can offer is my respect for your home, the gratitude for the hosts generosity and my labor. I am a proud man and believe I should do what I can to not be a burden to my fellow human beings. So, having limited financial resources I offer my labor and time. Oh, and my WONDERFUL personality!!!
