Anthropology major, love to travel. Cellist by day, assistant manager by night. Down to earth, grateful individual. I'm gay and a practicing Anglican/Episcopalian (but by no means a prude or nutcase) and intend on becoming a priest. Love to cycle, read, walk, chat over a beer or wine. Good for a laugh. Lover of making ceviche and burritos. Will never turn down a good Gin and Tonic.

I do smoke, but never indoors and will not be going in and out for frequent ciggarettes should I be surfing.

PHILOSOPHY

Organization is just organized chaos. Approach lightly, embrace compassionately.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For YOU!
I don't have much, but what I do have I'm happy to share. In my travels abroad and my move to SF I've received so much that I have to pay forward.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In November 2014 I did a backpacking trip from France to Ireland and I am just amazed at the generous hospitality I've received through CouchSurfing. Through this means of travel I have affirmed that the world is a much better place then I thought it could be and look forward to paying as much as I can forward.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2013 I went to a camp out in South Dakota with 400 people on the badlands with a friend that I met online. Wonderful bonds of community were made.

Teach, Learn, Share

Music and cello and general strings. Love to talk theology and mysticism.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm told I'm good for laughs and am definitely game for new experiences. Not a complainer and I am very adaptable. My cooking skills are sort of decent and would be glad to share a meal. Overall I'm responsible, you and your home take priority over what I might want to do while visiting.
