I'm an easy going, calm, open minded,friendly, considerate, often quiet, and good humored guy. I don't think couch surfing should be used as a dating site.
I have no allergies, nor phobias. I enjoy sessions of drawing, cooking, listening to music, some wine/tea/spirits/pudding, and engaging conversation. I am a decent swimmer and excellent floater.
I left my hometown of Eugene, Oregon USA, July of 2016 and began traveling, working on farms, occasionally couch surfing, and having a good ol' time. I'm often in rural settings for months at a time, but in between the farms/work exchange programs; I try to get some social time in: meet folks, attend a concert, art show/museum exhibit, food/drinks/fun.

I'm currently in Europe until the end of November 2017, then I'm back to the states. I will most likely be spending time in- Ireland, Belgium, Netherlands, Czech Republic, and Romania.
