ABOUT US

Hey there!!, Smile!! Life is great!!

I'm a pretty positive person, and like to see others happy.

I'd call myself more of a listener , than a talker, I'm not really shy though, I just like to hear what people have to say.

My wife Lise and I also love traveling. There always new places to see and things experience!!

Its great to meet new people, create new friendships, and who knows where things can lead.......

PHILOSOPHY

I like learning about people, new things , new places.
Student of Life!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people!!! My wife and I also like to get the local flavor when we travel - find out where the locals go and what they like to do!

Interests

As for hobbies and interests........, My big passion is Craft beer!! and I do pretty good on the homebrewing front!!I like going to the movies or just sitting around the house relaxing (listening to music). I love going for drives and taking photos of abandoned houses and wrecked cars, among other things. I like to see the beauty in everything! Check out my pics at

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
