About Me

CURRENT MISSION:
Make local friends!

ABOUT ME:
I grew up in southern California and mainly lived there, outside of a couple of years in Flagstaff, AZ. Moved back to Cali for a while until I got dangerously ill in 2016 then moved on with my sister and her family Las Vegas, NV. I have Lupus ( an autoimmune illness, the systemic variety which oddly enough affected my memory. )So I apologize if I have to re-meet you, but my memory is selective.
I am a silly bastard who doesn't know what the hell to write down. I like geeky stuff. I read comics, watch way too many movies and act all elitist about both (but not really). I tend to surround my self with awesomely liberal people but open to hear from all kinds. I am looking for meditation/ travel/movies/random conversation buddies. As far as spirituality goes I respect all, but personally identify as pagan. I love sub cultures and am active in many. I am out of things to write about myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It has been a while, but I actively surfed couches in Thailand . I do keep an eye out for CS gatherings. I hosted a number of people years back when I lived in Flagstaff, AZ. I then moved back to Cali but I have had a crazier year then most. So crazy, in fact, that I can't remember it. I moved to Nevada to get well then moved back to my hometown in California when I got better. I live with a small family, although I can't host I will be attending meetings and gatherings!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed with:
The awesome and oh so chill Alvaro in Guatemala,
the lovely and very accommodating Chanelle in Bangkok,
and the energetic and super helpful Nick also in Bangkok...oh and sort of with supersweet Erin who bunked with Channelle in her room so that Nate (x-husband) and I had our own bed....you guys are absolutely fantastic.
I also couchsurfed with Justin in Nebraska, who was way , way cool.
