CURRENT MISSION

Happiness, humor, and exploring the culture while traveling.

ABOUT ME

Military veteran, lived in multiple locations over the years, the most memorable being in Crete.

I enjoy biking, experiencing new cuisine and cultures, and live by the golden rule.

I thoroughly love the entire travel experience and crossing paths with interesting people. I enjoy seeing what each place has to offer that is unique.

I am a non-smoker, early riser, and while I like to listen to good live music during evenings, I don't tend to stay out late unless I'm at a specific event (like a comedy or jazz club) or a middle-of-the-night bike ride event.

PHILOSOPHY

I live by The Golden Rule; treat others as I want to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoying meeting new people and enjoy sharing travel stories and information. I'd like to surf and host other surfers.

Interests

Watching Ryan Braun park one in the Parking Lot of Miller Park, Watching Aaron Rodgers score another touchdown single handedly at Soldier Field, burning innumerable calories on my Trek bicycle.

Music, Movies, and Books

jazz, blues, comedies, and I always carry my Nook.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saving a life. Staffing a New Orleans hospital one month post-Katrina.

Teach, Learn, Share

I appreciate meeting others who grew up outside of the United States or Americans who spread their wings and explored remote places. The stories of those experiences inspire me to travel more myself.
