Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Exploring the world / Meeting new people / Finding out where I fit into this web of life :-)
ABOUT ME
Like many on here, I have long had the wanderlust bug. I spent much of my 20s traveling and have since been settled in Portland, OR for around 4 years. That wanderlust itch is creeping up again and I'm looking for new experiences. Happy-go-lucky queer guy here.
PHILOSOPHY
Have fun, ask questions, and add some positive energy to the world
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Have a one bedroom in Portland, OR with a cozy couch. Have not yet hosted, but I'm up for it with the right connection!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Only positive experiences! Have only stayed with two people via CS so far - once in England and again in Berlin. My friends consider my CS stories "too good to be true," but it's my experience that you give what you get in this world and if you look hard enough, you'll wind up with everything falling into place.
