Hi. The most important fact about me (more important all the time, it seems), is that i'm the father of four wonderful sons, the last of whom has just gone off to college. Which means i may travel the world even more than I've been doing for the past number of years. if you check out my website you'll see the sort of writer I am -- you can even read a sampling of my travel pieces which I've published in The New York Times, Esquire, the Los Angeles Times, Men's Journal, etc. www.danielasarose.com. Want me to tell you how to break into travel writing? just ask!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Far better than a fancy hotel is a couch or a bed in someone's private home, where I can see how people live on an individual basis. And make friends!
