This is NOT a dating site.

I don't have Facebook.

Not a fan of routine. Traveling is the best way to avoid it.

I'd love to meet someone who doesn't have "open-minded" written anywhere on their profile. Yea, that would be awesome.

I love food, don't drink, and believe in dessert after every meal. Am obsessed with the elimination of unnecessary excess, beards, scars, chocolate, people who can play the harmonica, and horses. I strongly dislike the color purple and mosquitos buzzing in my ear.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like strangers from far away places.

Interests

Anything that can get my adrenaline going, good conversation, and food. Lots and lots of food.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Met a little Cambodian girl who used a dead crab tied to a string as a toy, got hit on the back of the head by a toothless woman in Morocco and the following year was slapped by a woman in Vietnam while simply walking down a street.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can eat with you, walk with you, talk with you...just can't offer a bed (have roommates).
