Very energetic ... love travelling, great conversation, learning new cultures. Retired a few years ago just to increase my travel experiences. Hope the trend continues.

Don't let my age distract you.....most think I am in my 30's

If in Chicago great tour guide. Have a huge Italian family so most likely you will meet some of them hanging out with me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Learned about the site from a guy on a plane from Austria to Barcelona, Been a member ever since.
