About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Whoa.

ABOUT ME

I'm a lucky guy who gets to travel a lot to interesting places. My kids grew up in Africa, and it was wonderful. I value my family above anything.

PHILOSOPHY

I'd like to be able to be with everything, be appropriate to every situation and every person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet! But it seems like we always have one or two friends staying with us, and my wife and I met in a commune, where we both lived for four years, so I know the CouchSurfing space, even if I 'm new to the organization.

Interests

Promoting the use of solar lamps in Africa, gardening, playing the piano, the kids and grandkids. My blog.
