PHILOSOPHY

LIFE IS SHORT!!! - ALL you get is today. Regret is not an option

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've had the most amazing experiences with this community as I traveled across N America! Previously I mostly hosted - but my situation changed in London and I was unable to anymore.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Fantastic!.... It is amazing the generosity of this community. I was always more of a host than a surfer until my recent travel.

Surfed in Madison, Omaha, Fargo, Winnipeg, Moose Jaw, Regina, Medicine Hat, Calgary, Whitefish, Red Lodge, Helena, Jackson, Rapid City, Laramie, Grand Junction, Pahrump, Loveland, Helena, Portland, and Worland so far - great experiences, as I have come to expect - this site is stellar.

Trip to hawaii was pretty terrific too, lots of first on that trip (snorkelling, volcano, helicopter, shark, etc)

did Times Sq for new years eve a once. Once was enough.

The Redwoods in California are still THE most amazing things I have seen so far.

I traveled to Jordan in Feb 2015 and went to Petra. WOW. My second favourite spot on the planet after the Redwoods.

Teach, Learn, Share

American expat living in Stockholm. I moved to the EU in 2007 so I could travel there, 2019 Asia, then COVID..... I think it is the best way to learn about the world and its people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I traveled 2014-2015 mostly in the US by car 30,035 miles, camping and couchsurfing. I also popped to Mexico, UK, Sweden, Jordan and Israel as side trips.
I have lots of stories, and I like to think insights now :)
Sadly my current living situation prevents me from hosting.
