About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To show what California has to offer!!!

ABOUT ME

I am a teacher/photographer/writer/tree hugger/cyclist/tech-geek and collector. Among other things. My goal is to travel and meet people from different backgrounds and be infused with their culture. I have a lot to offer and I want to share who I am and what makes me with you.

PHILOSOPHY

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us. "Gandalf the Gray"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to show other CS that California is a great place to visit and that we have so much to offer. Come and see the beauty that California is! Merced is the Gateway to Yosemite! Hope to see you soon! I would like to extend my assistance to anyone and learn from that experience. I think couch surfing is an amazing concept that allows for one to get to know a person and their culture in a way that would be rather difficult by any other means.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed in Paris and it was an amazing experience. I want to meet new people and learn all about their culture, history and what makes their town a great place to be.
