I'm a 50 years young world traveler who owns a bourbon whiskey business in Kentucky. Currently traveling in Europe to see a bunch of Grateful Dead family shows!

I grew up in Chicago and have lived in several countries. I have had several careers from journalist to bar owner!
Currently I’m semi retired and own a whiskey bottling company in Kentucky.

I recently took dual citizenship in Israel and am very excited to put some roots down in my ancestral homeland! Plus who wouldn’t want a second citizenship? Still trying to reach my EU dream of owning a flat in Berlin or Rome.

Personally I’m very open minded and have all kinds of friends and acquaintances with varying outlooks on how to live one’s life, politics, economics and spirituality.

I consider myself self aware, confident, kind, considerate, empathic, respectful of boundaries, and well spoken, well mannered and well adjusted in company or when traveling alone.

I am persistent, curious, stubborn, and successful when I put my mind to it. I believe in creative visualization and positive manifestation. That’s why I’m on couchsurfing!
