I'm a 51 year old gay cis male living with my small dog, T-bo. I'm super tall and skinny, goofy / serious, intellectual, spiritual and trippy. I'm drug free except for psychedelics. I often eat a raw dietary that includes meat.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel, the personal, human landscape is usually more interesting​ than the physical or even cultural aspects. I travel mainly to meet people, to be with friends and loved ones, and also to be in nature and shake up my routine and staid perceptions. When not traveling, I love meeting people whose experience of life is simple and direct, which reminds me of how I experience life when traveling.

Interests
