About Me

Hello worldly Friends. I am a fun loving run of the mill 23 year old living in the mid-west of the the states. I've lived here for a long time and would love to meet new people and show them the hospitality the great state of Iowa has come to show me. I am an animal lover and can host small animals. I am a gay guy living with my husband, so please be accepting of our lives and we will return the same.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My goals in life are to travel the world and experience as much as I can before I leave. At the mean time, that's not super feasible for me, so instead I would like to help out some other people doing the same. to give them a comfy place to rest on their travels. Hoping that in one day when I jump the lake, I'll get to meet some new people along the way.

Interests

ART! art of all kinds. the weirder the better. my house is adorned in art made by me and stuff I picked up at thrift stores.

I am a decent dancer or at least I like to think I am. you can be the judge.

I also enjoy smoking Chicha from a hookah and chilling with my friends.

but above all. I love to learn. As cheesy as that sound, I love to learn about everything. no subject to me is boring or off limits. If your up for a deep philosophical debate, I am too. If you have an ancient story passed down your family from generation to generation, I'm all ears. I am an empty cup that will never be filled.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Monty Python's Flying Circus
animated cartoons, Fucked up sudo-sureal meta comedies.

the music I listen to Expands several genres. as long as it something I can dance to, I'll listen to it.

I love the Iliad, ghost stories and ancient stories.
the harry potter books aren't bad either.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I haven't done it yet. but i'm building my credit to open up an urban dance studio in DSM. I've also delivered a baby calf once

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some dance moves I guess. not much of a teacher, Its my only down fall.

but. what I lack in teaching I'm a great learner. like I've said before. I love to learn about new things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

aside from a lovely time and tour around DSM, I'm a decent cook as well as an artist. I can offer a small paint and a meal for 3 if the people staying would like some food.
