A very average person in almost all ways and yet looking to expand my experiences with others to learn and grow in community.

I've been a world traveler since age 10 and truly enjoy all the people in all the world.

Welcome to my place!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met Stephanie Kaplan, another local couchsurfer, at a Thanksgiving dinner recently and learned about this.

It seemed more interesting and less commercialized than AirBnB - so here I am!

Sailing, diving, snorkeling, beach combing, and the 'Salt Life' when coastal.

Music, Movies, and Books

Really? There is just too much to write in a little box.

I was introduced to 'Diplo and Friends' remix by one of my German buddy's the other day. Very chill. Totally enjoyable.

I have several Terabytes of movies, many in German or with German subtitles. Achtung, baby!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

*That I have survived*

I survived these serious situations:

The largest Naval nuclear accident in History.
A plane crash (Tow plane vapor locked)
A head on collision (Other driver crossed the center line)
A near drowning (S.C.U.B.A. gear failure)

Weird huh?

It's never too early to beef up your obituary!

Teach, Learn, Share

My friends tell me i am a capable healer, caregiver, counselor and warm blanket wrapper-upper with hot tea for the downtrodden and ill.

I can cook. And i do mean I can cook well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm not so sure I am going to travel and stay with hosts. No offense, but when I travel, I use AirBnB, travel with my posse', usually need an entire house, a body guard and tend to be a little disruptive to the neighbors.

Yes - I am attending CES2015 in Vegas in a few weeks.
