Hello! I'm a former American diplomat who is currently traveling around the world. Since I'm traveling alone I am hoping to meet new folks to hang out and stay with. I'm especially looking to experience the local food, art and cultural scenes. I am gay so I would like to meet gay and gay-friendly people. I am a nice guy and a great conversationalist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am hoping this will be a great way to meet locals and expats and to share my experiences during this long one year trip with other people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love jazz. I also enjoy listening to the traditional music of other countries. I do enjoy independent films though most of the films I have watched tend to be Hollywood blockbusters. In terms of books...it's all over the map =)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I drove cross-country in the United States

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: How Americans really think!
Learn: How to prepare different types of cuisine
Share: My friendship

What I Can Share with Hosts

My companionship is the first thing. Also, I can be a travel partner in the future since I enjoy that. And I can host you once I settle down back in the United States.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Hong Kong, Mexico, Morocco, South Korea
