Though I first signed up for Couchsurfing eons ago, I never actually used it so I'm fairly new to the site (as of spring 2025). That said, I'm a frequent Misterbandb user with impeccable ratings and happy to share them.

I'm a full-time travel writer and cultural reporter by profession, host my own travel podcast called Best Gaycation Ever and am an enthusiastic wanderer always off to see the world.

I tend to be naked a lot around the house which means that if I am available to host, I'm really only set up to accommodate men (gay/bi/straight are all welcome). I also prefer to stay with hosts who are comfortable with a guest who will mostly be nude around the house/apartment.

I am based in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles where I live in the most adorable bungalow with the friendliest cat in the world.

I always enjoy getting to know my host(s) and guest(s) if time permits.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I stay in hotels all the time for work, but love that a site like this offers a chance to connect with locals and in neighborhoods away from tourist zones. It's really not about saving money for me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to name! Avid bookworm here. Have not had a TV in more than 20 years, but I do watch shows and movies on my iPad. I am a huge supporter of queer artists.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Because I work in travel I am fortunate enough to say I have had many amazing adventures. A couple that stand out include visiting a divided Germany as a kid the year before the Wall came down, scaling a skyscraper in Chicago and hanging out with artist Robert Mappelthorpe's mentor in his New Orleans apartment.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Avid conversationalist filled with great stories. Want to have dinner together? I'm happy to help cook, clean or provide a nice bottle of wine. Clean, communicative, polite and respectful.
