I am a gay professional who loves to travel and meet new people. I enjoy learning about new cities through the people who live there. I find myself exploring the gay parts of cities I travel to, and enjoying/experiencing the differences in nightlife.

Note: I prefer to stay with lgbt hosts for my safety and comfort.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Recently was laid off from my job as an engineer so I am taking this as an opportunity to travel! With that being said I aim to be economical of course, and it’s great to have a local to guide to introduce me to the city and hangout and explore.

Interests

I love to travel and meet new people. I am also very athletic and always finding myself seeking out new ways to get up and move. I’m a bit of a nerd and I love taking trains and public transit in new cities. I really enjoy learning about a city through its people. I especially am interested in the LGBT cultural history & nightlife of every city I visit.

Recently I just finished reading The Velvet Rage, and I am starting the Ethical Slut soon.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This summer I'll be riding 545 miles on a bike to raise money to fight HIV/AIDS! I recently raised over $3000 while training for this ride.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a big nerd and know lots about tech.

I am very interested in learning about LGBT history. As I’ve travelled more I’ve learned how much about our history and how it has been shaped by and shapes the world.

I have many stories and experiences to share. I travel to many gay destinations, as well as solo backpack in the wilderness.

I'm a vegan which sometimes can be difficult while traveling, but I love a good challenge. Going on vegan food tours in new cities is one of my favorite activities.

Exploring nightlife (especially gay nightlife) in a city has become an important part of my travels. Learning about the history and culture of LGBT people through nightlife, while also meeting new people and enjoying myself!

Did I mention I love public transit?
