About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To fly by the seat of my pants!

ABOUT ME

I'm a queer artist/massage therapist trying to make it in the world. I love friendships and making food. I'm a part time vegan, but mostly vegetarian.... I like to read, ride bikes, go to the beach, dumpster dive, dance, and hang out with my friends.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to have as many adventures as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed several times, and hosted a few times as well. I love the experiences and the new friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only couch surfed a couple times, but they've been great.

Interests

I like Books, BICYCLES, the color turquoise, Frida Kahlo, tattoos, underwater adventures, dancing, making art, music, yoga, sunshine, traveling and above all: surprises. I identify as queer, because I don't believe in a gender binary. I love all things androgynous and coveralls, especially when combined. Right now my biggest interest is WWOOFing.
