The "My Home" section of my profile will tell you the housing and sleeping conditions.

I would appreciate it if you mention any conspiracy theories you entertain because I think they're fun(ny).

I'm a hands-off, freedom-giving host.

No expectations, no disappointments.

I'm interested in new and novel things: experiences, ideas, places, items, food, colors, feelings, and words. Obviously I also like old and traditional things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The people I've met have been very kind and open (and rarely arrogant or pretentious). I've met some cool people who I wouldn't have otherwise, and it's a fun way to travel.
