CURRENT MISSION I love hosting people in Vegas to build up positive kharma for my own travels and to meet folks from around the world ABOUT ME Welcome to fabulous Las Vegas. I have been a corporate lawyer for 20 years, working at Silicon Valley companies and some of the country's largest law firms. I have loved this career, but am ready to start a new one. Before that new start, I'd like to spend a year or two hosting travelers and traveling myself. PHILOSOPHY Live a life worthy of joy!

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I love to host people in our home, although I've been traveling so much lately that I've done less hosting. I frequently get free Vegas show tickets and other perks that I'm happy to share. I live really close to the airport and I work close to Greyhound station, so even if people aren't staying with me, when scheduling allows, I can pick them up at airport and help get them on their way to a good time in Vegas. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Before this website launched, I had a great experience traveling across Brazil staying with people I met there, then their friends in the next city, and their friends in the next city, etc. I really believe in the concept! A few years ago, I did a tour of Spain and Croatia using Couchsurfing. It was great. I have already had a dozen surfers stay with me and have enjoyed it. It makes a normal work week into a much more fun staycation.
