I have a good time. I take photos. I spend time outdoors.
I eat well. I treat others well. I can't decide whether to switch to one space after periods from two spaces after periods.

I take several road trips each year, through driving my own car, ride share, or by bike. I have found that ride share and bike camping give me richer experiences with people than does driving from place to place by myself and staying in individual campsites or hotels. I think couch surfing is another opportunity to connect with people as I travel, or with travelers coming my way.

My personality is very easy-going and accepting. I am friendly and approachable, while I also like my own space and quiet time, and while I can party, I am more likely to look for a beer and conversation than a huge club to dance in. I like to walk around new places, especially outside of the regular tourist spots.

Also, every two weeks, I buy fresh flowers for my living room and bathroom.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I like to host as a way to welcome people to where I live. I value people who take the risks of meeting strangers and going to new places.

I would like to surf for experiences with people: exploring side streets, laughing at dive bars, cooking new food (for at least one of us), finding out what the guidebooks are missing.

Algo increíble que he hecho

While on a trip hundreds of miles away from home and out of cell phone range, I got a flat tire on a deserted road, and my spare tire went flat right away. Then, I walked two miles rolling my flat tire alongside me, until I made it to the highway, where I was able to hitchhike to a place to get the tire fixed. The amazing part is that I went from flat tire to back on the road in only 2 hours, thanks to help from others and the choice to risk walking far with the tire instead of waiting.
