I'm a zookeeper. I have worked with many animals such as rhinos, giraffe, kangaroos and komodo dragons. I love anything outdoors. My wife and I discovered our love for travel when we went to London for our honeymoon. If you are a member of the LGBTQ community, you have a safe place to stay with us. We have 2 dogs that love meeting new people as much as I do.

We are not party people, probably because we are early to rise. Sleeping in for us is usually 7:30 a.m. I may not be able to hang out all of the time because I have a side job as an artist on my weekends, but I'm happy to host. If I'm not busy on my weekend, I will be happy to show you around.

I believe that a stranger is just a friend that you haven't met yet!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I work at Disney's Animal Kingdom and through the company, I have met people from all over the world. I really enjoy getting to know them, learning about their way of life, and tasting their cultural dishes. I want to bring that experience into my home.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Respect for your home and willingness to learn of your way of life. I'm an artist, so I can bring you a piece of my work. As far as cooking goes, I'm only good at making breakfast. I have yet to find a place that makes biscuits and gravy better than mine!
