I'm a lawyer-turned-schoolteacher who loves kids, animals, and all things cuddly. I'm a gay guy originally from Alabama, so that's a fun perspective. I'm a cat owner and have the scars to prove it. I'm a nerdy bookworm who will play any kind of game: board, card, tabletop, or otherwise. I like to brew some tea and have a nice chat with someone with a different perspective/outlook on life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to be able to visit new places and explore new cities! I would also be willing to host the occasional visitor, once I'm able to have the space and means to do so. I love meeting new people too, so that's another big thing about Couchsurfing that appeals to me!
