Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I recently relocated from Miami, Florida to Dallas, Texas, and I’m enjoying discovering everything the Dallas/Fort Worth area has to offer! Life is short—so I believe in living it to the fullest. I love meeting new people, exploring different perspectives, and learning from others—it all adds value to my journey.
Please take a moment to read my full profile, including the “My Home” section. I typically work Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
If you send me a request, I always respond. I might be traveling, so it could take a day or two, but you’ll always hear back. If your plans change or you’ve found another host, no problem—just let me know. I truly appreciate communication and try to help as many people as I can. Being ghosted after offering help is the worst!
ABOUT ME
Just your typical guy next door who enjoys having a good time. Don’t let the “over 40” thing fool you—I’m young at heart and still get carded more often than you’d expect. If you’re under 35, no worries—I can definitely keep up and relate… lol.
Not much surprises me, and I want you to feel completely welcome and at ease in my home. That said, I might surprise you with a few things—who knows!
PHILOSOPHY
Respect is everything—simple as that. One of the best principles to live by? Listen without defending, and speak without offending. It’s a small mindset shift that makes a big difference.
I also believe in staying open-minded—life has so many different paths and ways of living. Don’t be afraid to try something new, step outside your comfort zone, and truly experience what the world has to offer. That’s where the magic happens.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN
These days, I mostly host—but this platform has helped me build lasting friendships around the world. When I travel, I often stay with friends I’ve met here, and it’s made every trip more meaningful. It’s amazing how a simple connection can turn into a lifelong friendship, no matter where in the world you are.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
It’s been an incredible 10+ years of connecting with people from all walks of life through this platform. What started as simple meetups has turned into a decade of unforgettable experiences, cultural exchange, and lifelong friendships. I’ve shared meals, stories, laughs—and even a few adventures—with people who were once strangers and are now part of my extended global family. It’s truly one of the most rewarding parts of my life.
Interests
Wow… you could say I’m a true jack of all trades! I love the outdoors and split my time between my home in Phoenix and my new life in Dallas—just recently relocated from Miami. Before that, I spent time in NYC during the pandemic and still miss the city’s energy, but I’m excited for what Dallas has to offer.
I’m a big fan of the performing arts in all forms and love exploring different cultures and experiences. I party like a rock star and host like a Rockefeller (well… maybe more like Martha Stewart with a flair). If you’re a guest in my home, expect genuine hospitality—with a few pampering touches to make your stay memorable.
I’m also trained in massage therapy and always open to a great massage exchange—or just happy to help you relax after a long day of exploring.

Music, Movies, and Books
There’s way too much to list—I genuinely enjoy all kinds of music. EDM festivals are a favorite; Electric Zoo in New York was my first, and I was instantly hooked. Since then, I’ve been to festivals across the U.S. and Europe, each one offering a vibe of its own. Lately, I’ve been into Maroon 5, but my taste is all over the map. And if we stumble into a karaoke bar, there’s a good chance you’ll catch me belting something out!
When it comes to movies, I’ll watch just about anything—good storytelling is always worth my time.
Books? I should read more for pleasure, but lately, my reading list has been dictated by work. That said, I’m always up for a good recommendation.
I’m passionate about the arts in all forms. Whether it’s discovering a local band, catching a concert, laughing through a comedy show, getting swept up in a play or Broadway production, or soaking in the atmosphere at an opera, symphony, or art gallery—I love it all. There’s something energizing about being surrounded by creativity.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
There are far too many incredible things in life to list. I believe the world is full of amazing moments—we just have to slow down enough to notice them. Too often, people are simply too busy to see what’s right in front of them.
Teach, Learn, Share
I’m a student of human behavior—genuinely fascinated by what makes people tick. Share how you live, and I’ll share how I do. Deal?
I’m open-minded, always happy to share what I know, and even more excited to learn from whatever you’re passionate about. Life’s more interesting when we stay curious and open to new perspectives.
What I Can Share with Hosts
What can you expect from me?
Plenty of life experience—and I’m an open book, so feel free to ask me anything!
What can I offer my surfers?
A clean, safe, and welcoming home. I do my best to help however I can, and I always strive to go above and beyond. Don’t just take my word for it—check out my references!
When sending a request, let me know what caught your eye in my profile or mention any groups we share. Also, take a look at my interests—it’s a great way to find common ground.
And just a quick note on communication: I always reply, even if I’m traveling and it takes a day or two. Please do the same—ghosting is just bad manners.
