Just a chill guy that enjoys going with the flow. I’m not extremely energetic, outgoing, and talkative. I can’t promise to be the most social or memorable person you meet or host. I’m interested in other cultures, individuals, cuisines, traditions, and ways of living among other things. I’m optimistic and curious about a variety of things. I enjoy long walks solo and with others. Additionally, I enjoy reading, psychology, Thai boxing, cafe hopping, and being in nature. I’m probably not the best at describing myself, but you can get a basic understanding from my references. I’m not interested in a threesome, orgy, or nude gathering. Yes, all those things I’ve been asked to participate in by people on Couchsurfing. I don’t want a massage either, but thank you. I am straight, so please respect that. Prefer to use CS for CS purposes, you should probably use other apps for that.

Teach, Learn, Share
I love experiencing and learning about different cultures and that’s why I prefer to stay in countries I travel to a bit longer so I can really dive into the lifestyle. I'll politely welcome any conversation no matter how long. There’s always something that you can take away from everyone you meet. I definitely prefer hosting over being hosted due to some negative experiences, but I still enjoy connecting with locals, for me Couchsurfing is a way to make lifelong friends and experience the culture of others, who want to share that culture.
