About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am a retired educator. Taught mostly middle school and developmental math at the college level. Enjoy meeting people. I only host males. I will NOT accept generic requests, they must be personal telling me a little about you and why you would like to stay at my place. You MUST also like dogs. If I offer to host I MUST get a confirmation of that offer within 24 hours or it will be declined. Also, due to a bad couchsurfer that I hosted, you will be asked to leave my house when I am not there.

ABOUT ME

I enjoy hiking in the mountains and desert. Easy going guy. Also enjoy country line dancing. Enjoy going to plays, concerts, dinners out, and relaxing. I also do yoga 2 times a week and I have just started Tai Chi. I like to treat myself to the day spa on occasion and go to Tecopa to the hot springs. I am also a single gay male and have no problems with nudity in the house or the back patio. I also have a hot tub on the patio that you would be welcome to use. I only ask that you do not wear any clothing in it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people, especially those from other parts of the world. I have made many good friends on this site.

Interests

I enjoy yoga, tai chi, line dancing, and riding my ebike. Traveling is a big thing, especially going on cruises. Always looking for possible people to cruise with me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Probably the most amazing thing I have done is take a white water rafting trip on the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. It was a chance of a lifetime. Even though I did get bounced out of the raft, caught under the raft, got sucked under water by the eddies, had my shorts pulled off by the river, almost slammed into a boulder, got badly bruised, I would do it all again. LOL

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy meeting laid back people that enjoy life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Please note, I rarely host over weekends or on holidays and restrict guests to male surfers only. I will NOT accept cut and paste requests. I also DO NOT accept any guests for EDC or Life Is Beautiful. Being a local in Las Vegas I can show you the town from a locals point of view. Rarely do I go to the Strip. There are so many other great things to see and do on a day trip away from town. Las Vegas is centrally located to many national parks such as Zion, Death Valley, Grand Canyon, Moab, etc. Tecopa Hot Springs is nearby and is a nice place to soak and relax, especially after hiking in Death Valley. They require that you be nude in the pools which are separated by sex. During the summer heat it is nice sitting on my patio with a cold drink and with as few clothes on as possible lol. I have no problem with nudity and if my hot tub is going to be used, I do prefer you use it nude to keep the water from getting fouled by residues from bathing suits.
