I'm a simple guy with complicated tastes (that's a quote ;). I think I'm pretty laid back; I don't like drama. I like in depth conversations more than small talk. I generally prefer things quite. I no longer consider myself a partier. I don't do drugs or alcohol. I don't mind being around people who drink, but prefer not to be around any drugs. I like being around people of any age, just as long as they're mature. Anything you want to know just ask. I also give free Go lessons ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see more of the US and the world. I've done AirBnB several times, but I'm often on a limited budget so I thought I'd try this out. And of course it's interesting to meet people you wouldn't immediately think you'd be interested.
