About Me

Please note: I have retired from active hosting but I may occasionally be able to host. I'm opening my profile up to hosting those who might be impacted by the events in Europe. I host travelers only. I don't host local individuals seeking accommodation.

I am keeping my profile active for those who may want to meet socially while in San Diego or need advice on things to do in town.

Happy Traveling!!!!

ABOUT ME

I'm a fun loving guy. I enjoy being around good people and conversing and laughing. Those are the good moments in life. I love all types of people and I truly dispise sterotypes and bigotry.

PHILOSOPHY

It is important to laugh from the heart at least once every day. Be patient with others and considerate of their feelings. Your kindness will come back to you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't surf very much any more but I still enjoy opening up my home to surfers. Whenever time allows, I will help you to experience the best my city has to offer. Happy Traveling!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I first began my overseas travel, couchsurfing was integral in helping me get the most from my experiences. I've also met lifelong friends from my experiences. I've found couchsurfers to be genuinely warm and considerate people.

Teach, Learn, Share

Couchsurfing is an unbelieveable forum. I have been a member now for 17 years. For those new to the site, I encourage you to remember what couchsurfing is NOT:

- Couchsurfing is NOT a dating site. I want to emphasize that! Guys, there are dedicated places for you to find dates. Don't freak women out by trying to use this site for hookups!!!!

- Couchsurfing is NOT a place to find long-term accommodation when you are "homeless" or "in-between places".

-Couchsurfing is NOT a site for bigotry, hurtful rhetoric or political ideology.

What Couchsurfing IS AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN is a forum, for travel lovers to convene and open up their homes and hearts to like-minded individuals. A place for considerate people to share a bit of their lives and culture with others and possibly make lifetime friends in the process.

Please respect this forum and all those who are members of it.
