I am a traveling from the west coast to the east coast while working in the food service industry and the theater industry while Couchsurfing. I am currently in Portland, Oregon (originally from Eugene, Oregon).

I am a laid back gay guy in his mid-30s who enjoys meeting new people, great conversations over coffee or beer, and love hearing other people’s perspectives on issues in hopes that I can understand both and all sides of the conversation.

Love traveling and meeting new people. Cities I've been to include: Portland, Seattle, New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

In 2010, I worked and lived at City Hostel Seattle for a year and it was such a great experience. Additionally, I have couch surfed in Seattle, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

After being in my hometown of Eugene, Oregon - I am going back on the road with my first stop in Portland. At my core I am a guy who wears my heart on my sleeve and I am a gypsy nomad traveling type. I am a musician at heart. I played the violin when I was elementary school, trombone while in middle school and high school and I hope to one day start learning how to play the cello.

I am @enigmaticlibra on Instagram, and @enigmaticlibra1 on Twitter I also just started a travel blog that will feature my baking adventures and my recommendation for men’s fashion and grooming - enigmaticlibra.tumblr.com
