Artist with a heart of gold--I am a earth adoration specialist who loves traveling to places of natural splendor. I am a performer and artist who enjoys meeting new people and hearing a good story. My favorite past times are lounging in a hammock next to a river, organizing elaborate picnics, hooting during drag shows, taking walks around the neighborhood, and eating delicious food (all of which I enjoy in my home city of Portland, Oregon).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing allows me to feel less like a tourist and more like a visitor. I enjoy non-traditional ways of making myself at home in a new place, especially when it involves getting the inside scoop on the best swim spots from a local!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled solo to Fairbanks, Alaska to visit Denali, swim in the geothermal baths, and experience the midnight sun. I also visited Anatuvik Pass, which is within the arctic circle. I've also gone skinny dipping in Lake Baikal in Siberia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always eager to share my skills! I am a writer, plant enthusiast, drag performer, and singer of songs. I also have a background in small business ownership for 10 years and can cheerlead the next great idea into a plan of attack.

Happy to help with yard work or house work! Also can bring any supplies that may be hard to come by in their area.
