I am an outdoor nut, that is stuck in a cubicle WAY too much so I like to travel whenever possible, and fish, hike, camp, etc! As an amateur chef, I am not above cooking for hosts OR guests, that appreciate good food, and wine/beer!
I would consider myself a "true foodie" I love all aspects of food, and drink, and I am excited to sample regional cuisine anywhere that I stay!
I am infatuated with art of all kinds, and whenever possible I try and visit local museums, and artist shops.

I am also a certified fitness instructor / nutrition counselor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people that share the same interests as me as well as people that can teach me about things I have yet to learn about.

I feel like when I travel to a new destination, the use of couchsurfing gives me an advantage when it comes to knowing where to go and what to do, because I have a built-in expert in my host!

Music, Movies, and Books

I still like old 80's music, but I also like a variety of newer music. I love all movies, and I read just about anything as well.
Stephen King's "The Stand" really gripped me back when I first read it!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

when I was 18 I backpacked all over Europe on my own, to include crossing into East Berlin before the wall came down.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am REALLY trying to learn Spanish right now, so I am hoping to visit Mexico very soon, and spend time immersed in the language and the culture! I would love to be able to help someone learn English, while they help me with my Spanish.

I am also a certified fitness instructor / nutrition counselor.
