I have visited or been in/through almost all the States of the United States of America. I have been to Canada, Mexico, England, Portugal, Spain, Aruba, Hong Kong, and the Philippines. I am a single man who lives in a small duplex apartment in Tampa, Florida, where the living is good.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking for housing for a trip later this year to Equador. When my sister moves out later this year, I may be able to help a fellow traveler.

I taught medical sociology, statistics, social problems, and sociology to undergraduates. I taught statistics and social science methodology to graduate students. I taught high school psychology and peer counseling.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As little bother as possible.
