CURRENT MISSION

Exploring Colombia! I'm in Bogota for two more days (tomorrow May 12th, and Tuesday May 17th). I will be in Leticia between those dates. Looking for awesome gays! (If you're gay, you are probably awesome : )

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty multi-faceted person who likes to challenge myself and keep up good conversation. I tend to be kind and light hearted, and as soon as I let my guard down, which usually happens quickly, I am very honest and straightforward. Good communication is always a work in progress, and I strive to be able to speak my mind as well as be a good listener, especially when in disagreement or when I don't understand someone. I always enjoy new experiences, and meeting new people is usually a blast.

In California I practice something called radical faggotry. It's kind of a community with intentions of honoring queerness and radical expression. I'm super interested in the life of gay people everywhere. I invite experiences that are platonic and/or intimate. Consent is super important!

I am pretty positive person and keep myself fairly balanced and content. And like everyone I have my edges and quirks, but they are never harmful to others. I can be excitable, but have an overall calm nature. I'm pretty far from "normal" (whatever that is, sheesh!) and have been called weird or peculiar on many occasions, which I take to be a compliment. Good music, good food, and good conversation make me happy. Exercise and dancing are two of my favorite activities.

And of course I could probably never succinctly describe myself, so I'll leave it at that and leave the real world for the rest of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can cook, or if that is not needed, clean, organize, listen, or maybe even give you some interesting perspectives on life. I love sharing experiences and listening to them as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While studying abroad in England during my undergrad, I went on a few CS adventures. All of them were beautiful and rewarding, and I'm really hoping to make it out of the country again soon.
