ABOUT ME
I have traveled a lot in my life, especially in North America, from Florida to Toronto CA to Texas (and Mexico) to California and Alaska. I have also traveled and lived in Europe (or Eurasia, Turkey) but it was a very long time ago. Now I spend a lot of Internet time with 2 or 3 very close friends in Romania, Egypt and elsewhere. I love to meet people and I love experiencing the various cultures of the world.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is short. Before you know it, it's over. I say this as an older man: Live life while you can, GRAB EVERY EXPERIENCE, SEE every place that you go, APPRECIATE everyone you meet, and always leave behind the feeling that a BEST FRIEND just visited you.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am new to couch surfing, but I think it's an amazing phenomenon and I want to learn and experience more and more on this level. I think this kind of thing is a dying life-form :p and I mean that I think it has connections to a thousand or more years of history, and it's good that this kind of social assistance is available. I truly appreciate everyone who hosts people like this, and I hope it will continue to grow and grow.
