We have 2 cats: Larry (7), a tonkinese, and Trinity (4) a fat little tabby/tuxedo kitty. The apartment is clean and doesn't smell like litter, but if you're allergic I wouldn't recommend staying here. I do have allergy pills for people who get a little bit sniffly though.

Our place is LGBTQ+ friendly and open to all religious (or non religious) affiliations. The color of your skin, hair, eyes, whatever does not matter to me. People of all ages and abilities and national origins are welcome. Basically, as long as you're a nice respectful person who can act like an adult, I'd love to have you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Too many amazing people on this Earth to waste time in a hotel. I love having friends all over the world and running into them years later in various places.
Plus, I've never met a well-traveled person who is also close minded, xenophobic, homophobic, racist, etc. Travel beats that shit right outta ya.

I have learned so much from wonderful and intriguing surfers and hosts over the years and am grateful for each and every human interaction through this platform. Except Doucheface, that guy was THE WORST.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camped on the Pacific beach in Costa Rica with a gazillion stars above, woken up at 6 am by tropical birds, swam through the sunrise, ate fruit for breakfast.

Hiked Cinque Terre in Tuscany.

Did 48h trips to Tokyo, San Juan, Costa Rica, Hawaii, SanFran, Paris...
Sat in the Captain's seat of a Boeing 747.
Was almost mugged on a solo trip to Santiago/Chile, but defended myself with a well placed kick in the nuts. Got a cool scar out of it.

Completely uprooted my life and everything I knew and started over on the other side of the country.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am quite good at making Dutch Babies and if you stay with us, you might get one for breakfast.
