Socially conscious, but not rabid, politically informed but not obsessed, I am an avid architectural photographer in my free time. I also enjoy film, cooking and wine, and cycling. I'm an active Aikido student. I don’t mind template requests, but please try to show that you read my profile (not just, "Yes, I read your profile."), and personalize your request! It would be good if you have some combination of a verified profile, references, and experience hosting. If you have been on SC for a long time, but have never hosted - why? You should have a verified profile as well. If not, you should have great references from hosts. People often don't seem to have read this part of my profile. Last, please don't make a friend request until we are actually friends! NOTE: Due to the nature of my apartment building, I am not able to lend you a key when you stay with me. As a result, no late nights out (unless we're out together)!
