I'm a middle aged professional business owner with a 20 year old's passion for travel! I was an officer in the US Army and lived in Germany for 3 years.
I'm married, have 2 college age kids, and an awesome GoldenDoodle dog named Mac.
I don't have a Facebook account, so I've linked to my wife's for you to check us out some ( https://www.facebook.com/kim.bills.73 ).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are fairly new to it still, with only having surfed once and hosted twice so far. But I'm really looking forward to enjoying it more because of that whole Karma thing (and it just sounds like a really great way to meet people from all over the world).

Interests

Besides travel, sports is my biggest interest, especially college football
and basketball, as well as the Olympics. I've backpacked and camped in very rustic places, yet have stayed in numerous 5 star resorts as well; so I guess you can say my interests (and experiences) have been quite varied.

• dogs
• boating
• traveling
• socializing
• surfing
• jet skiing
• bungee jumping
• skiing
• sports

• soccer

Music, Movies, and Books

I like a very wide variety of music: country, classic rock, contemporary, oldies, etc
I like war movies and comedies, and tolerate chick flicks with my wife :)
Not a big reader of books to be honest; I enjoy National Geographic and Sports Illustrated magazines.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driven up the side of Mt Etna while she was erupting, watching the lava flows.

OK, a couple more: went bungee jumping off a 110 foot platform off a cliff in Mexico, and climbed Machu Picchu!

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmmm...hopefully I can do each of these equally :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lots of travel insight, a good sense of humor, and hopefully a reciprocal spot to crash at my house where I can show them a good time on our pontoon boat and jet ski !
