I'm a Queer married man and I've lived in San Francisco, CA for 20yrs. I'm from Portland, OR and have lived at times in LA, New Orleans, and NYC.

I’ve spent most my travels in Europe in Germany

I have interests in local history, architecture, city planning, culinary arts, museums, and bar culture when I travel. Personal interests in antiques, wood working, modern and classical arts, animals, film history, LGBTQI culture, beer/wine, food, politics, and technology.

Unpretentious and easy to get along with. I consider myself an easy going person with a diverse background and a love for meeting new and interesting people from all backgrounds, perspectives, voices, and tastes.

Looking forward to meeting hosts and exploring new places along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet cool people to hang out with while I travel. I typically travel alone so it's nice to meet new people out on my journeys.
