We are Ben and Joe, a fun-loving, very open-minded male couple. Ben is queer and from the US. Joe is gay and from Vietnam. We love to travel and meet new people. Ben has lived in 7 countries and Joe in 6. Needless to say, we get around.

We are fun, friendly and easy going. If you want to hang out, just let us know! We are looking for new friends in the Cheltenham area.

We are open to possibly taking guests - we have a comfy guest room and live near the station. However, please be advised that we are in a Dom (Joe) / sub (Ben) kinky, sex-positive relationship, which we live 24/7. We are also usually naked or semi naked at home. Guests will need to be comfortable with this - we do tone it down a bit when people are over, but we never entirely hide it and we prefer to tone down as little as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love to travel and meet new people from all over the world, so hosting CSers is a no-brainer. We also love learning about other countries' cultures, foods, music, etc.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Just ask! I grew up in the construction industry, so I'm a handy guy to have around. I also offer a lot of fun stories from my travels and I'm a decent cook too.
