haaay! I'm pretty much just an artsy brown feminist goof with dumb tattoos and a passion for weird movies, craft beer and new friends. I have an appreciation for cool pants and trash art but i cant yet make full claim to either.

Peep my instagram if you wanna double check to make sure im not a robot or a weirdo or somethin: https://www.instagram.com/monktooth/

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

trying to get the hell outta southern california, see new places and meet cool people to share stories and experiences with around America before i go back to work in nyc(where ill be happy to counter-host anyone that hosts me) hopefully without getting murdered or going into immense debt but either is possible i guess so lets just hope a cool story is attached, lol.

Interests

i pretty much like cool graphic design and weird art shows, occassional craft beers, pretty parks/forests and stupidly big trees or any other nature really, making bad music with good friends and pretending like my boogie dance doesn't look like a panicking monkey. Also have a soft spot for exchanging life stories and dad jokes both in succession or simultaneously if at all possible.
