This is a QTPOC (Queer Trans People of Color), vegan friendly house. Refugees are most welcome.

It goes without saying that this is NOT a hostel or bed and break-fast. Couch surfing for us is sharing (time, company, food, etc.), not finding free accommodation. We respect one another and the space (everybody cleans up after themselves).

House rules:

-No bigotry, xenophobia, sexism or bullshit of any sort.

-This is our home and we keep it clean. Please clean up after yourself.

-The kitchen is vegan only. Please respect that.

-We live with pets. It is their home as much as ours. Please respect their space and beware if you have allergies.

-No loud noises after 10pm especially in the garden. Respect our neighbors.

-No shoes and no smoking in the house.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I love meeting, hosting and breaking bread with like-minded, fun-loving, free-spirited souls.

兴趣

I love reading, music, cooking (and eating) good food, photography and independent cinema. I love being outdoors so I spend most of my free time either in the garden or in the park with our dog Pancho. I also love gardening and am very interested in the philosophy and practice of Permaculture.
I do a lot of yoga (though I am conflicted about the cultural appropriation issues around it).
