I live in a semi rural area of Northern California. There are many fun and interesting things to do here. The sea and the mountains are both within a few hours from here. I could write more but it is easier to just ask me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it is a good way to obtain the cultural immersion that I desire.

Music, Movies, and Books

There is a wide range of music that I enjoy but I usually listen to classic rock.
Any movie that has a great plot and is not easy to figure out the ending early on.
I enjoy biographies and historical texts but also read fiction and fantasy. George R.R. Martin is a favorite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited all 7 continents.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have traveled extensively in my life. I am a patient person that is willing to teach anything I know as long as the learner has a good attitude and is trying.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very skilled at repair of most broken things. I don't carry many tools when I travel though since I don't check baggage and the airlines are strict! I am also skilled at cooking and cleaning.
