About Me

Hi,
I was a member of a similar group in the US many years ago and a similar networking group in Europe during the 1970s, (FKK member). You will find my home to be clean, quiet and comfortable. A current member of AANR. Situated in a residential suburb located in the far western edge of the valley, 20 miles away from downtown Phoenix.
I am a retired, partially disabled veteran. Own my 3-bedroom 2 bath home that is a 45 min drive to airport. I no longer drive and don't have a vehicle--Best way to get here is via Blue Airport Shuttle Bus or taxi if you don't have a car. Via Interstate-10, I am 1 mile south of the freeway just off 163rd Avenue. If I have a friend available (when he is not working), we can pick you up at the airport. Several fast-food places are within 1 mile, chain restaurants that will deliver, and three grocery stores. I usually cook dinner but just in case--You may need to manage your own meals; evening meals are sometimes prepared mid-afternoon. though I usually invite you to share. I do have extra refrigerator space. Some of the stores include Super Walmart, Super Kroger/Fry and Super Target. The closest City bus stop w/limited service is 2 miles away.
I am a very open-minded, low-key person. Trying to live a stress-free relaxed lifestyle with an easy-going personality. I am a home naturist and also enjoy nude camping and travel and my home is nudist comfortable. Please understand, I may be gay and a nudist, but I am not looking for sex, I am totally comfortable hosting clothed or as a social nudist. So if you are not gay or a nudist, please don't worry, we will adjust and accommodate you, staying clothed, without problem. I believe in no pressures, no demands and no hidden agendas.
I do enjoy good conversation. I am well educated and well-traveled. Please, no smokers, no drug users, no traveling pets as I have a German Shepherd Service Dog. He is well trained, clean, quiet, and stays by my side all of the time and I am allergic to cats.
If I am traveling:
If I am traveling alone, I may be using a shuttle from the airport, city bus, or I might have a compatible friend drive me so he would also need to have a bed/couch. I am also ok on a couch or airbed. I do use a portable powered wheelchair part of the time for long distance, due to military injuries, but I usually do walk with a cane.
-----About my home in Goodyear, Arizona:
It is a 3-bedroom 2 bath home in the far western suburbs of Phoenix. You would have access to the kitchen and laundry. A private fenced back yard, covered patio, sunning area with lounges, a shaded spa is kept at social temps year-round. Unless invited to share, you would provide your own meals.
I share my home with another disabled senior man, he has his own bedroom. I have a third roomy & we are in a committed relationship, age 57, he works days and is also a naturist. Depending on the situation I will give you our master bedroom and bath and we may sleep in the living room or spare room. There is WIFI for the house. The living room has a large screen TV with access to Roku; Netflix and Hulu.
The private backyard has a covered patio with soft seating, a sunning area with lounges. A hot-tub spa. Plenty of towels available. A Gas BBQ grill is also available.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy travel and I enjoy meeting new people and since I also travel a lot, this is a fair trade. I prefer to host single men but sometimes I will accept two people
I can provide a double bed and private bath. I also have a twin air-bed and a hide-a-bed couch in the living room.
My home also has a large hot-tub spa in the backyard and during warmer days my yard is safe for naturist
sunning and social chat (if you are interested).
Please feel free to email me and ask questions. I do not have a smart phone, I do not text.
