ABOUT ME

I can be thoughtful at times with a dash of selfishness. I am perfectly comfortable with this.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

See third paragraph below

Interests

I love women. I love men that love women. I have never loved a man that never loved up a woman, who often prefers to love up a man. But I am perfectly fine with the flirtations of a man, so long as there is an understanding that there will be no reciprocation of any kind. But I digress - where was I.

The one thing that holds my attention is the pure honesty of natural beauty. My travels have given me much appreciation of memorable sights of beautiful cathedrals to the natural beauty of rock formations. I have experienced so many cultures and it is often that I see so many beautiful differences in each one.

I am new to this couch surfing trend - I have always stayed with friends and family. However, there are new adventures yet to be sought with no guarantee of a safe place to stay. I would love to try the experience of being hosted by a kind and gentle person, preferably female.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Riding up to Forte de la Bastille and taking in a fantastic view of the town below. The Pont dArc atop the Ardeche River is where I almost proposed to someone but whew... did not.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer hosts my patience and understanding of cultural differences. I do not take kindly to drunks or females who act drunk - it is just trashy and reminds me of what is wrong with the world today. I am courteous, clean, and am a gourmet cook. I do not like feeling obligated to be intimate with anyone for a space to sleep.

I have heard horror stories of men (mostly women), especially from Europe who end up sleeping with their hosts out of obligation which puts a cramp in anyone's stay in the states. No thanks, you can keep your STDs to yourself. From what I've read in the couch surfing community, the disposable "dating" element in couch surfing is what is ruining the couch surfing philosophy. I digress again.
