Why I’m on Couchsurfing

***I live in a converted motel for artists, so that means I live in a 200 sq. ft. motel room. I would likely be staying with my partner while you stay at my place. I'm an artist, so cannot provide an absolutely free stay, but am always open to barters of all kinds. Please do not message me unless you have something to trade for a stay at my place. If you have multiple things you can trade and aren't sure which would be best, send over your options and we'll figure it out!***
