I'm a free spirit, to be sure, but I have a lot of ambition and drive. Going with the flow and spontaneity have always been my life strategies, and they have served me very well. I'm friendly, connect easily with new folks, and love to have a local show me the special corners of a place. I am also very respectful and aware of others, and will treat you and your home with consideration and care. I'm a gay from the beautiful state of West Virginia, and am as warm and easy going as they come!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Wanderlust is a wonderful common ground. All the folks that I've met through this community have been vibrant and interesting and I'm in love with hearing the stories, learning about cultures, and sharing experiences from/with the people that I get connected with.

Interests

Adrenaline and sweat have become my favorite drugs. As an athlete, dancer, yogi, or whatever, I have become addicted to moving. Even talking about the mechanics of movement is exciting to me! This focus on the body and movement has also led me to explore massage, meditation, and somatic practices, which are all shockingly effective. Sharing this passion and knowledge is super satisfying, and I love introducing people to their bodies in new ways.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will gladly offer a top notch massage or guide you through a somatic exploration. We could go for a yoga class or play a sport! I also enjoy cooking together, sharing meals/wine, and getting a local's your of the city. I don't HAVE to be sweating to have a good time.
