I am a queer filmmaker, writer and multimedia artist

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel solo a lot and it’s an awesome way to meet new people. I also love to host in Detroit when I can and show people how special the city is.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listened to over 140 genres of music on Spotify last year - so I’m truly into all kinds. I love Ursula K Le Guin, Murakami, Ann Patchett, and books about history and environmentalism. Some favorite movies are Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Moonlight, Melancholia, The Last Black Man in San Francisco

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent time deep in the Amazon rainforest in Sarajaku Ecuador - a native community that fought against Exxon oil drilling and won!

Teach, Learn, Share

Currently studying herbalism and mycology. I have worked on earthships and strawbale houses, and have decent carpentry skills.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great stories, home-cooked meals, book recommendations, perhaps tinctures/teas or salves if I’ve got them on me, light home repair, pet sitting.
