NYC born but grew up in the deep south. Love the southern hospitality thing and try to share a little of that with you...warmth, understanding and patience.

I've lived all over the USA, two years in London and have visited many countries. I try to travel out of the USA twice a year. I enjoy taking in the local flavor of my surroundings and love trying new things. Different languages, customs and learning about your experiences intrigue me. I am a single dad and enjoy sharing the world with my sons. It makes them better citizens.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Expand experiences and circle of world friends.

Interests

Travel, skiing, fishing, boating, art, music, international foods, books, exploring, cooking... and you!

Music, Movies, and Books

Love jazz... my grandfather played with Billie Holiday and kept us surrounded with good soulful sounds..

Just read The Warmth of Other Suns. I learned a lot about America 's great migration of people of color from southern to northern USA.

Too many good movies to list any favorites.
