Hi! My partner and I have lived in downtown Detroit for the past ten years, and we've been excited to show people around this awesome city (we have predominantly been using his account on Couchsurfing for hosting https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/kirkbennett). He and I are both Physician Assistants and are entering our next journey of Locum Tenens, traveling around the country taking 3 month contracts. My work has been in the field of family practice with a specialization in treating HIV and Gender Affirming care. I love reading, traveling, and really enjoy getting to meet new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We both really enjoying traveling and have used couchsurfing in the past as guests. Over the past year, we've enjoyed showing people around our incredible city. I think this is such an incredible opportunity to get to know an area intimately while also getting to make the world feel a little smaller.
