She/her
I'm a queer writer and artist located in a very queer artsy neighborhood in Brooklyn. I love to read, explore new things, and make art, from thrift flips to zines to jewelry. I’m a very easy-going, relaxed person, and a low maintenance house guest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and everywhere I've been, it's really the people who make the place. I've had so many amazing experiences meeting other travelers, which is one of the biggest reasons I love solo traveling. You get to meet so many interesting people even just in hostels, and I'm excited to make even stronger connections through Couch Surfing.

I've loved seeing places through the eyes of locals, and now that I'm also in a place where I have my own space and the ability to host, I would love to give back to the community, and also to be able to meet people even in a point in my life when I'm less able to travel myself.
