I just came out Transmasc in Dec 2023 in Vermont. I stay in New Orleans every winter and travel at will. I moved to New Orleans from VT in 2011 then bought a house with my son in NM. Flipped the house in 2022 to travel and eventually resettle in Vermont. I bought a minivan, canvas tent and woodstove and spend spring to fall camping and hiking in the green mountains of N’dakinna(Abenaki for “our land”) and joined the Abenaki community, learning the language and culture at Middlebury college

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To teach people about two spirit indigenous culture and the Abenaki language and increase the visibility of queer and indigenous people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ll have to think about this and return but coming out at 53, let alone living as free and healthy as I do is amazing enough!

Teach, Learn, Share

There is a plural for moose!! -ak is the plural of Abenaki words so add the -ak. Moosak is the plural for moose! Odanak means town or village and mategwasak is the plural for rabbit.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m an excellent cook with severe food allergies so I have to make everything I want to eat
