Overview
About Me
My life has had allot of twists and turns. I've been to Art school in Chicago, lived in Seattle working at Amazon.com, grew up in the upper Mississippi River valley, managed a youth hostel in Nicaragua, enjoy visiting my friends across the globe, and take care watching my niece & nephews after school. Life is filled with good people and family.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Currently I am traveling across the globe looking to meet other humans on the planet. The choice of couch surfing is to hear real people and experience other cultures. Learned that meeting and sharing time with people on a personal level is more enriching than a hotel.
Interests
My interest is social and cultural experience. Been known to like telling short stories, hearing others experiences, and exploring new places. Often tend to orbit back to places once visited. It is always a pleasure to reunite with folks met months or years ago to exchange old & new stories. Avid photographer who takes allot of photos. Of course other usual things enjoyed is hiking, biking, snowboarding, and climbing.

Prefer to share this in person.
Teach, Learn, Share
After working with a couple charity organizations, one in Nicaragua prior to my tenure as a hostel manager; now recently with the Train of Hope in Vienna Austria assisting Syrian, Afagnistan, and Iraq refugees. I've learned that even though I can never truly understand another humans struggles, at the very least my talents can help ease their transition to a next chapter of life. Patience is a virtue. Empathy is human.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Happen to know some special places and great people. Also I've been a Master Electrician apprentice for several years. This time served to hone my analytical thinking. My most recent employment was professionally trouble shooting Telecommunications equipment and software. Which enabled my current travels. Previously worked at the worlds largest Star Wars reseller of vintage Star Wars.
