Curious human with a variety of interests including history, environmentalism, philosophy, languages, and behavioural sciences.

Tolerant, and open minded. I believe in cooperation, compassion, and look forward to the end of capitalism.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been hosting and surfing since 2011 and have had mostly positive experiences that have allowed me to grow mentally, culturally, and emotionally. Like many hosts/surfers, I'm not thrilled about the changes introduced to CS during the pandemic, but I still believe this is a fantastic way of meeting people and places.

**Please note homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, and racism are not welcome in my home**
