What I Can Share with Hosts

Experiences of the wonderful people I have met and lived among from Croatia to Chile as a travelling student, professor.

Experiences working with people all over the world in construction, painting, farming, maintenance and landscaping.

I love great conversation over wine, or brandy and perhaps a pipe or cigar.

I enjoy discussing work, cars, cultural experiences, philosophy (what we know from reason alone) and faith. I am recently interested in Spanish, Polish and the history of rights under common law and constitutional law in the Anglo tradition and how that compares to rights in the non Anglo tradition.
