My wife and I have been married 36 years, are retired, and enjoy seeing the world. I myself sometimes will do bike adventures on my own to different countries, but my best journeys are with my wife when she's available. If there's one thing I've learned the more I travel is:
it's not what you see, it's who you meet!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To learn new cultures and to reinforce my unbelievable trust of my fellow human beings.

Interests

Only within the past few years have I found the magic of seeing the world on a bicycle. I've been retired 10 years and I started exploring on a motorcycle but needed to slow it down. Fortunately some of my worldwide bike trips include my wife, Carolyn, my companion for the last 40 years!

• cooking
• boating
• traveling
• socializing
• music
• bicycling
• meeting new people
• mechanics
• history and culture

Music, Movies, and Books

I've played guitar almost my entire life and I'm now learning piano.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My wife and I lived on our bicycles in the mid-Rhine region of Germany and stayed with 10 different hosts!

Teach, Learn, Share

I so enjoy sharing life's experiences with new people. Love talking travel and the beauty and kindness of my fellow human beings

What I Can Share with Hosts

Since my wife and I are empty nesters we have this huge house that is now open to fellow travelers.
