I'm a gay man from the USA now living in Brazil with two dogs. I haven't hosted in a long time, but I would like to start again. I have a small sofa and a reclining chair that actually is pretty good for sleeping. I could also potentially share my double bed, but it's usually occupied by dogs.

Music, Movies, and Books

Classical symphonic music is what feeds my soul - Tchaikovsky, Vaughn Williams, Handel, Mozart, Prokofiev, Stravinsky, Bach, Grieg - the list goes on and on, right? I always love a piece that brings me to tears through its sheer beauty.

I also love pop music - especially dance pop with female vocalists - yes I'm a big gay cliche that way - Madonna, Britney, Beyonce, J-Lo, Rihanna, Whitney, Donna Summer, Mariah, David Guetta, etc.

Another big gay cliche - I freaking love show tunes. I couldn't care less about the show itself or the story usually - it's the music I'm interested in - the Book of Mormon, Wicked, Les Mis, Miss Saigon, Avenue Q.

I generally am drawn to passionate sincerity in music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I saw Beyonce perform live for the first time, I knew that I wanted to BE her!! She indeed left me awestruck. Then to hear her describe years later how seeing Michael Jackson perform had caused the same feeling in her as a child, I got the same chills all over again! There was a gay bar called Action in Budapest that amazed me. It was hard to find, down in a basement, but believe me it was worth it, and quite an eye-opener for an innocent young America boi! I was also awed by my visit to Yellowstone last year. Growing up near Mt St Helens I've always been fascinated by geothermal activity, and those geysers and hot springs were some of the most breathtaking, mysterious, awesome things I've ever laid eyes on!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an experienced musician. I play the piano, sing, and dance ballet. I'm a fantastic proofreader (I'm sure there are typos in this profile, feel free to call me on them since I just made this claim, lol). I know how to do Barre3, which is a fantastic barre method exercise program that combines yoga, Pilates, and ballet.
