About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To respect the environment and all sentient beings

ABOUT ME

Active older couple. We enjoy travelling and have visited parts of North, Central and South America, Europe, Japan and Korea.

PHILOSOPHY

I oppose factory farming and the inherent farm animal cruelty. I look forward to the day when all sentient beings are respected - not just our pampered cats and dogs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a very new member to Couch Surfing and look forward to meeting new people. My friend Kathy has been fantastic in helping me get started. I really look forward to our first surfing in Newfoundland this July!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

New, new, new. I will certainly be adding my new adventures.

Interests

Travel, language study, playing hockey, bicycling, winemaking, reading.
We are active volunteers with the Guatemala Stove Project and have made two visits to Guatemala in the past 3 years. We have also volunteered in Colombia and Peru and hope to go to Nicaragua next winter.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy many kinds of music - modern, classical, latin beat. Once a year I get my fill of bagpipes at the Maxville Highland Games.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing the Taj Mahal, Grand Canyon and Macchu Picchu

Teach, Learn, Share

As a 66 year old, I guess could share the ups and downs of life. I am focused on trying to learn spanish at this point but it seems to be a work in progress. I never seem to have enough time or enough neuron connections. Who knows.

Countries I’ve Visited

Colombia, Cuba, France, Guatemala, Japan, Peru, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
