***Normally I'd love to host but given the pandemic, my house can't - one of my roommates is a nurse who works directly with COVID patients so it's not safe here.***

Grew up in the Jersey punk scene and never left behind that DIY attitude or love of community.

Quietly eccentric, open-minded, atheist, queer, feminist, radical leftist with a lot of energy. Into history, politics, music, art, and travel & culture (of course).

I cannot commit to hosting people like... a month from now, as I don't know my/my roommates' schedules/obligations that far ahead. So last minute requests are totally kosher here :)
