I am a 27 year old transgender male who has not medically transitioned (so to everyone who doesn’t know me I look like a butch lesbian). I am an awkward introvert that sometimes accidentally anxiety-talks a little too much but some people find it endearing. I love animals, am a non smoker (no tobacco, extremely rare 420. Sometimes I’ll try it if offered, have literally never sought it out). Not much of a drinker. I can sleep just about anywhere.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m “ballin on a budget” but would like to see more of the west coast because I’ve lived in California for several years and haven’t ventured outside of California except for brief excursions for science conferences and have literally never set foot in Oregon or Washington even though my parents met, fell in love, and got married in the Seattle area!

Not accepting guests because I am a live-in childcare provider and it would not be possible to bring a stranger into a home with children that are not my own.

Music, Movies, and Books

Harry Potter is everything to me but I’ll read almost anything

Music can be just about anything. Favorites include things from Billy Joel to Blink 182 to Tenacious D to broadway musicals to rap, etc

Movies aren’t something I prioritize in my extremely frugal life but I enjoy most movies that I get a chance to see via Netflix, amazon prime, etc.
