I used to live abroad, but happy to finally be home in Socal setting down some roots with my awesome wife. I work absurd hours in the kitchen, so anytime we can get out to explore is sublime

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel I like to pretend I live there. I rather slowly follow a local's suggestions than ride a tour bus. Rather couchsurf than stay at a resort. And get to meet and have fun with open-minded people along the way.
