I am constantly moving in a million directions, but I usually end up in one piece (usually). I grew up in rural Illinois surrounded by cornfields and soybeans. I have been expatriating around Asia and Oceania for the last 5 years.

I prefer to stay with women or couples and am not looking for someone to date on couchsurfing.
