I am an avid traveler and enjoy spending time on the road. My partner, Irena, is also a teacher but is spending more time at home as the homebody. Hate staying and hotels, and when I/we travel it is always with the intent of staying at hostels, friends, or couch surfing. Meet a lot of amazing people that way. I play tennis, bridge and even curl (very Canadian) and can do just about anything . Have been in a relationship for 20+ years, and still looking forward to another 20 years. Finally, leads of energy, and looking forward to meeting interesting people, even if it is for a short time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love to travel, love to meet people, and hate the coldness of hotels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

managed to complete a career in teaching and am heading for retirement. Along the way travelled four separate years with my partner, Irena ( who is also a teacher) to some amazing places on our lovely planet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an elementary school teacher, have work in film and television, and generally consider myself an eclectic man. Love a challenge, and enjoy passing on information of a willing ear.
