I like good conversation, and I try to focus on being a good listener. I have a long attention span and enjoy time with intriguing people who skip the baloney and get right to the good stuff. I'm from Chicago, but have been around quite bit, mostly in Europe and Latin America. I'm for life with lovely Mayra (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/mayra_cuellar).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I tell people about CS, that it's as safe as you want it to be. I surf sometimes when I travel. I'll host when I'm not moving. These are just for my quick reference:
