Easy going, friendly. Blessed to have many long-time friendships and continually meet new friends. Wide variety of interests and activities which comprise to make life interesting and exciting. Fortunate to travel regularly, including locally, throughout the United States and globally. Local trips are fun, but international travels are truly amazing from many perspectives, foremost are the wonderful people I meet! I embrace a quote from the great poet Ralph Waldo Emerson, "In my walks, every man I meet is my superior in some way, and in that I learn from."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is an exceptional way to meet individuals, many with similar interests, including the love of travel. Recently, I "officially" joined as a CS member, although I have a long history of meeting and hosting individuals (both from the USA and Internationally) as guests in my home or community. Parenthetically, I have been blessed to meet many individuals when visiting their respective countries, who have been extremely helpful in making my traveling adventures extra rewarding!
