i can host anytime, i will at least have a sleeping bag for you, but i will be suspicious of you if you dont have some sleeping measures for yourself.

i would love to show people around, go hiking. i dont do shit here in austria, im free all the time, except when im doing something which you could do with me anyway.

we have a pet dog, but id consider locking it in the bathroom for you.

Clayton was quiet at first, but quickly showed his adventurous, giggly, positive and introspective sides. I enjoy his outlook on life and respect how he is living. He is not as artsy fartsy as he looks on his profile, he is just a real guy that is worth really getting to know. And also, he is a pretty superb sand crab racer. :)

He is the new into the wild. He brought me up to speed on on what happening with the punk kids these days...in particular the New Orleans scene during a road trip Vancouver to Banff. He is a guy willing to step it up a notch and dive into the unknown. RESPECT.

Clayton bounds through our limited dimensionality without a care for the subjectivity of the ontological, for he passes not a single judgement nor reserves any aspect of moment. He grasps the equilibrium of delight with rarely-seen aptitude, a rare non-grappling of the almighty (wu-wei), and I affirm his tactics and am too humble to offer critique.

We swam in a foutain, sat on couches in the street, danced in the rain, fought with dry grass, watched movie, laughed of each other's accent. Then mostly spent the next days sleeping and eating the same crap. People do look at us strangely but, we're kids of the universe. ***************************** Clayton helped me change, from a hearthless bitch to a lovely one. Sadly the wind has blown him away from our world built with coccinelle and plume. See ya with the next hurricane. Love. xxx

This CS is a prime example of how age & formal education are insignificant concepts as I learned more from Clayton than I did from the last 100 people I met!!! ... If you want to meet someone who is very original, artistic, kind, warm, helpful, introspective & very ethical yet at the same time fun, flexible, subtle & interesting, you will enjoy having Clayton visit you. ... Clayton surfed my couch 6 days, eating, washing dishes, making salads, hiking, kayaking & sharing interesting & original stories. I hope we meet up again on my couch or his. And may fair winds always be behind him! :-)

Sometimes, lucky doesn't even scratch the surface. Clayton sent me a message randomly a couple days before I arrived in Denver, having no idea I was coming in to town. We met up yesterday afternoon and spent all afternoon and most of the evenging together, and the plan is to hang out again today. Amazing guy, he's got a whole lot to teach, and a great sense of curiosity. Kind, generous, charming, smart, and an eye for the beautiful.

clayton is a faun. In every way he is very faun-like. He is mystical and some believe his existence to be pure legend.
When you see his curly hair you know he is a faun. When you see his boyish frame, shirtless with brown pants, dancing about on intricate rock formations, you will say, 'yes, he is a faun.'
