I love 1 block from the Beverly Hills sign. 7th year in California. Born on a farm in Indiana. I'm mostly home building my business (health+travel podcast) or going on 3-20 day adventures.
I have a 2b/1.5 bath. Guest room has California King bed and a 1/2 bath (toilet+sink).

Write me on IG as I don't always get notified of messages here.

HOME most of the time - working on computer, or at the gym. Mostly recovered from a heal injury.

2021: Mykonos, Hvar, Dubrovnik, Krka, Athens, Prague, Istanbul/Cappadocia. And, may be spending time in the midwest with friends in Nashville.

Old profile, 2018:
I travel nearly 7 months of the year to see friends and family.
2018 is my 2nd Euro trip. Back to Amalfi Coast, Amsterdam, Berlin, Athens, Istanbul, Barcelona...

During travel: hiking, short runs, eat healthy, yet sometimes very unhealthy. I'll read up on the history of a location and try to get lost once.
I have a lot of faith in the goodness of others and treat all how I would want to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

May I ask...are you knowledgable about media content and able to assist with a few errands? I no longer "go out for a drink", so this might be a fun way to share experiences. You'll likely add to your own longevity :)
Video asset management, online shopping, or even creating a welcome book.

I've hosted dozens of people before and I'm looking forward to try it out hosting on Couchsurfing after hearing about it from my fellow travelers.
So many people have improved my traveling, I am paying it fwd.

My favorite way to get a pulse on the social climate is asking my Uber/Lyft/Acorn drivers: "you're guaranteed a 5-star review - now tell me your thoughts on current events, politics and COVID".
You'll have fun being able to release to a discerning, open mind.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Ask! I grew up a shy boy on a farm in Indiana, grew up in Nashville, came out of my shell and have learned awareness. I read a lot, cook my own delicious food and love helping people discover things about themselves that wasn't always apparent.
