MYSELF CONSIDERED I have lived as both a son and a father, a student and a teacher, a beggar and a lender, a brother and a stranger, a native and a foreigner. I have spent most of my life until now travelling the world through other people—those who have come to my part of the world and blessed me with their experience of my own homeland, my own culture, my own language, my own people. I truly have had the privilege of sharing my table and to unwittingly reap from those sitting across from me more than I sowed. All that to say, people can only be described in so many words, and I am no exception. I used to ask people 'what they DO' and quickly found out that the answer is so often disconnected from what who they actually ARE—who they are created to be. I am not simply, for instance, a musician, a store manager, a husband, or a father—those hats I wear from time to time; I am these things, but they are not the reason for which I was created. I believe that I was created to be a table maker. I am most fulfilled when I am preparing those kinds of places to which people bring themselves to be filled, to find rest, and to share themselves. I am however only an apprentice to this craft, but I enjoy the pleasure of having had many wonderful teachers during the course of my life. That is who I am and am becoming.

CURRENT MISSION To travel the world, for cheap. ABOUT ME I'm an Australian/American who is currently living out life in Dallas, TX. I try to spend as much of my time in nature as possible. PHILOSOPHY I live my life to gain a better understanding of the people around me. If we do not all learn together, then it would be as if we learned nothing at all.

We appreciate those that host and do make our request personal that references something in your profile as most hosting expect this, so in turn we look for those we request/message to provide a respond. We do enjoy the clothing option lifestyle or as it should be called nudism life, though it is not a deal braker if you do not. LOL We have no issues with gender orientation or what ever other labels individuals use to identify themselves but if you are a 'true' nudist, there should not be any issues with anyone that is also a 'true' nudist. To exclude individuals due to gender, orientation, age, physical status, then please take a step back on how you look at your definition of been a nudist. Yes we have our likes and dislikes, preferences but CS is to be kind to your fellow humans, especially when it involves such personal acceptance of nudism. Married Hispanic male, Zeke, looking to explore this world. Wife, Barb, is of German heritage is along for the ride. We do travel together, though sometimes it's just Zeke. Travel is for personal not work related, to see new places and meeting individuals, by doing so we learn about your heritage, share ours, that increase knowledge of the human race and find that we have more in common than differences among our fellow humans. Zeke keep a healthy life style, keeping fit (bodybuilding and toning, yoga, running) along with healthy foods. Barb is also active with eating well and doing her share of doing fitness activities. We enjoy spare time relaxing with a good wine and relaxing music. We always enjoy good conversation. One of Zeke's passions is to give massage to host (massage exchanges are great). With the new 'normal' after COVID, we find ourselves learning what we value in life. We take common sense precautions when we travel and meet with individuals. Life is to good to just throw it away or hide fearing the worse. There is lots of good in this world and we've found that in individuals we have meet on CS. Some have become good friends and we've returned for visiting again. Presently we are not hosting, due to family member works with high risk individuals. Zeke's family moved from Chile to Canada and he was hooked on flying and travel. His family traveled every year mostly by car on west coast of Canada and USA though they did fly some. As a teen, both he and his brother able to travel alone and made points of visiting interesting places once getting there to included getting tours of airport facilities. Zeke made it to the UK while in the USAF, and again was off to see as much of the UK and Europe as he could. On returning to the USA, he kept traveling by car, airplanes and cruises. Once he got married, he made it a point to introduce as many cultures to Barb and the children with travel to places within USA and Europe and even a Disney cruise to experience the cultures of the Caribbean . With travel came the joy of photography, first with old school camera (film) to digital photography. So to say he likes to travel, a car trip is always nothing he will shy away from, even if its 2-4 hours one way, to return in the same day, camera in hand. Barb was raised and lived in North Dakota until married and moved to UK while Zeke was serving in the USAF. She shares the enjoyment of travelling and the adventures the can made along the way. We are open minded to most things and hear individuals out however don't smoke and prefer individuals that do likewise and are not drug users. You can never stop learning if you hear other's adventures and their thoughts. Our host have provide much insight to their world. We've done some great adventures from hiking around National Parks, to flying an airplane with host but what we enjoy is conversation while making meals and around the table. Good movies are always a great way to experience life. Our circle of friends is a wide range of males and females from 20s to 80s , married, singled and partnered with likewise range of religious beliefs, political views, orientation, fit and non fit. We respect their ways as long as they respect ours. If we send a request or message, it's that we find something interested in your profile. We don't send one out just because we need a free room. It be nice that individuals would respond likewise and not ignore it, that's not what CS is about and is rather rude (old school here). Once we know you can host, we will send that detail message more than what is on here if that is needed. It will reference to something on your profile so you know it's a personal message, not a form letter type. Let's enjoy life, as our paths cross.

Hey! I'm Christopher. Some of my favorite activities are camping, hiking, kayaking, trail running, and just having meaningful conversations with people. I'm happy to join travelers or locals to do outdoor activities, visit museums, explore a new neighborhood, or even visit touristy locations. I work remotely and often rent an apartment in a city for a few months to experience the culture and to learn what it’s like to live as a local there. Then, I move to a new place and repeat. When I explore new cities, I typically have a couch in whatever apartment I rent, so I host people as I travel. I've hosted people all over the world in whatever country I happened to be living in at the time from France across Europe and then back to the U.S. Right now I’m in hosting in Dallas, Texas.
