CURRENT MISSION

To reinvent myself after 23 years as a newspaper photojournalist

ABOUT ME

48, divorced, two adult daughters. Found the love of my life by chance. Non-smoker loves british TV and knows that he should have been an adult in the 40s. Traveled all over western, central and some of eastern Europe. Keen sense of humor and blindinly average looks. Friends with a number of people from bands back in the 80s.

There is a white couch in the couch surfing room. Please use one of the sharpies to sign it. It's our Couch Surfing guestbook.

PHILOSOPHY

To make myself happy and those around me happy as well. You have to start with yourself. I've made some mistakes in life but I've learned a little more about myself every day.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
