I am a single 55 year old professional. Worked in Energy Efficiency for 21 years and am in software development and product management. I’m transitioning my 9-5 life to having an Amazon store and traveling the world. Just sold a house paid off debts and want to journey, meet new people, go new places and discover the world's gems. I want to learn new languages and import/export where I see opportunities. I’m also a competitive flower arranger and a cosmetic beauty advisor for fun. I own a beauty blogger management company amd am starting a non-profit in Africa to feed the citizens of the Kaduna region of Nigeria.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I love the concept and the idea of meeting people who know the local haunts and must do's. I am transitioning my lifestyle to that of a traveling vagabond. I'm open to adventure and love making new friends. I am very excited to venture out on my first 6-week journey across 3 continents. I think using Couchsurfing will further enhance my adventures and allow me to make new friends around the world. I can't wait to get surfing!!

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

I went to the Philippines during the Aquino vs Marcos riots and was not able to leave the country. I ended up hanging out with a bomb builder returning to his ship until it was safe to leave the country.
