*in Colombia opening a few hostels for most of 2023*

I'm 33 and am fortunate enough to have lived a very exciting life. I grew up in New York State but fate brought me out west where I started up and succeeded with a very successful real estate business and online company.
I am an avid reader and also passionate about history and politics.
I have lived in different places in the world and across the United States, so I have surfers referencing different places. Currently I live in Colorado though.
In my free time I love to travel, take my guests places, and try different culinary cuisines.
Where I live is one of my airbnb properties, a sprawling ranch outside Denver. I do have a flock of sheep here, the breed being called Jacobs Sheep. (They look kinda like goats but yes they are sheep).
If my spare rooms are free, I'll host surfers in my home and give you one of the guest rooms.
I also have a futon in the living room.
I'm a bit of a health buff and don't drink (i do appreciate good wine now and then), smoke or do any kind of drugs so im a pretty boring host for some people, but I can definitely point you in the right directions for enjoying the best part of local nightlife.

So that I know you read my profile, end your request to surf with me by telling me one of your favorite books.

(Its not a prerequisite but if I'm getting alot of requests, I'll give those people priority. If it's a book I love but forgot or didn't put on my list, I'll feel an obligation to host you. I also will host almost no matter what those who've hosted alot of people themselves)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
