UPDATE 11-8-24: I JUST SOLD MY HOME IN PALM SPRINGS. I'M THEREFORE NO LONGER ABLE TO HOST. WILL ACTIVATE IF/WHEN I BUY ANOTHER PLACE. STAY TUNED!
The baths are shared and guys like to skinny dip in the pool (in warmer months) and hot tub (all year), so only males can be hosted here. I typically host through another major booking site but will consider hosting a CS male guest(s) during the off season if I have space available This place is like a mini gay resort! All CS guests must agree to not disclose to any other paying guests from the other site that the CS man is staying here for free.

Be smart, be open minded be neat and tidy, be considerate and be interesting and we'll most likely get along. All orientations of male guests are welcome, but I'm gay and you have to be OK with that.

Send me a thoughtful request so I know we're on the same page. Copy and paste requests will be deleted.

PLEASE NOTE: MY HOME IS A LICENSED VACATION RENTAL IN THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS. ALL GUESTS (WHETHER PAYING VIA THE OTHER SITE I'M ON, OR AS A NON-PAYING CS GUEST) MUST ADHERE TO ALL OF THE CITY ORDINANCES. THE CITY DOESN'T CARE IF I'M HOSTING A PAYING GUEST VIA THE RENTAL SITE, OR A FREE CS GUEST VIA THIS SITE. THE CITY IS VERY STRICT ABOUT VACATION RENTAL NOISE AND EVERYONE HAS TO FOLLOW THE CITY RENTAL RULES. THAT MEANS: I SIGN YOU IN UPON ARRIVAL, I GIVE YOU THE REQUIRED CITY NOISE, ETC. BROCHURE, YOU SIGN AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE CITY RULES AND I MAKE A COPY OF YOUR ID. THESE ARE PALM SPRINGS VACATION RENTAL RULES, NOT MY RULES.

Lastly, I go by Wilkinson, NOT Jim. If you send a request to "Jim", then I'll assume that you haven't read my info and so there's a pretty good chance that I won't accept your request. Just sayin'...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting guys from other backgrounds and cultures.

Interests

I've photographed (mostly) males for nearly 25 years. I have over a dozen photo books. You can see my work by going to MenJustMen.com and there's a link there to my X account (Twitter).

I'm a podcaster. "Becoming Wilkinson", podcast can be found on all major platforms. If you have a good story, then I'll most likely be interested in possibly interviewing you on my podcast, if you're into that. If you're gay or like the arts, there are some really interesting peeps that I've interviewed on there: amazing gay coming out stories, plus episodes with some fairly well known producers, directors and writers from Hollywood, etc., + a lot more.

I'm also into art, photography and design.
