I'm an American expat living in Malaysia, retired for the past 6 years and living the dream! I've been traveling a lot these past 6 years, met a lot of great people and really connected after being introduced to Couchsurfing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here on CS to meet fellow travelers and live vicariously though the travel stories of others. I'm also here for cultural exchange and good conversations, I don't view this app as a dating or hookup platform. I am though, always open unexpected friendships and connections. I welcome respectful, independent travelers that share the love for travel that I have. If you send a request, tell me a little about your travel plans and what interests you about staying here. Also include the words "TWIN TURTLES" in your request, that way I know you read my profile and didn't just cut and paste.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked the small portion of the Western most segment of the Great Wall of China near Jiayuguan City in the Xinjiang provence of China.
