Hello! I am a bike traveler going across Latin America and the United States via bus and bike! Currently, I am traveling with my friend from Florida to Montana. We both have sleeping pads and tents, we just need a little floor space :)
Seeing Latin America has been a lifelong dream of mine as I'm a huge fan of the food and culture.I just graduated from the University of Montana with a degree in Environmental Science. I love hiking, biking, tree climbing, and learning other languages. I enjoy getting to know people and exchanging stories, and am always looking for travel tips.I definitely consider myself a foodie. While I have a vegetarian dietary preference, I'll eat (almost) anything put in front of me! Also for your information, I am deaf and use cochlear implants to hear. I speak English and Spanish fluently, and know some American Sign Language and Portuguese.I also am a tutor and offer lessons in Spanish and English!
I am also a drag performer always looking for show opportunities. If you know of any drag performers or shows in your town or city, please let me know!
I'm a bit introverted. If I don't chat much, it's nothing personal. I prefer taking walks together, sightseeing, or cooking!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am transgender. I am more than happy to talk and educate about my gender identity beforehand, but I ask that you decline the request if you are not open to transgender travelers.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love sharing travel stories, the bad and the good. I love spending quality time together, whether cooking or walking around town. If you have a bike, I am more than happy to do bike repair, maintenance, and washing. I can also cook and clean and babysit. I also am a drag performer and can do your makeup (regardless of gender)
