Hi! I'm a 57 year old semi-retired environmental engineer, soccer coach, occasional science teacher and father of three grown daughters.

I like to pack up my Surly Long Haul Trucker, buy a one way ticket, and see what happens.

I love travel, animals, most people, culture, language, all things outdoors, and am also a massive soccer fan (BWFC). I have lived abroad in the UK and with my children and MX solo and visited multiple countries.

I live pretty simply and like to travel that way. I especially like meeting the people who live in the places I visit and, as much as I can, getting to know the country a bit.

Thanks!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet ppl, get to know the best parts of cities and towns, and save $ to travel longer :)
