CURRENT MISSION

I love to travel and meet people locally. I love the exchange of information, the travel stories, learning from new people and socializing with travelers. I want to give back the kindness I get when traveling and using this site.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, learn about new cultures, build/remodel and help others. I would love to live in many places, emerge in new cultures and make new life long friends.
My friends would say that I am friendly, I love to talk, listen and help. They also know I am adventurous and traveled by myself to many places. They know I am intrigued with new concepts, ideas and places and I like to explore and dream.

PHILOSOPHY

"Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become your character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to use this site to know more people, share lodging and experiences by giving and receiving help.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I only used the site in Ecuador. Stayed in Vilcabamba with Dave and loved the experience. Also met with Maria in Banos de Aqua Santa, Ecuador- did not stay with her but enjoyed meeting and talking. In Cairo, long ago, I joined a city and Piramides tour set with two wonderful local guys. Loved all of it. Great site and bright idea to build.
In Italy I used the site a few times. Great experiences.

cruise ship and later for an airline, visited locals in many countries (sponsored children too).
Built a cob house, remodeled my own old house, built a shed and a patio alone (except for the roof).
