Fully vaccinated but taking a break from hosting on a regular basis. Never say never, if you send a request and I'm able to host, then I'll accept!

If you wanna do some hikes, def message me!

Yes, I am a motherfucking mermaid. The name is lldrich, but everyone calls me Haute Mess (fake news! I made it up, people call me by my name). Originally from the Philippines. Grew up in Las Vegas. Currently spreading ratchetry in Seattle. I like to eat, drink, and twerk. I'm super easy going and enjoy pretty much everything. Seriously, I'm down for whatever... from a crazy night out of dancing to hiking to camping to just chilling and drinking at a random dive bar. Try me.

I enjoy traveling alone, so naturally, couchsurfing is the perfect fit for me. I've been an active member since 2010 and I can honestly say that I've met a good chunk of who I consider my good friends through couchsurfing. I would not have been able to travel to all the places I've been to if it wasn't for couchsurfing. As such, I try to give back to the CS community by hosting travelers as much as I can.

Below are the four things I look at when I evaluate requests from surfers:

1. Substance of request (personalized vs copy + paste)
2. Profile information (are we a good fit? am I gonna learn something new from you?)
3. Order of requests (first come, first serve)

Also, please include the following information in your request. It helps me weed out people that send mass copy + paste requests:

1. Why do you want surf my couch?
2. Why should I host you?
3. If you could be Beyonce for one day, what would Queen Bey do?
4. y = mx + b. Calculate the slope of the line if the y-intercept is 69.

Just kidding about the last one. Ha!

You probably don't give a shit, but here's my Instagram account for my travel adventures. It should give you a taste of my life/personality: https://instagram.com/_haute_mess/

2021 Update: I'm too lazy to update this profile for now, but I am no longer as ratchet as what this profile paints me to be. Old age has caught up with me. I should probably change my name to Lukewarm Mess, no?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To twerk all over the world and spread ratchetry to defeat ISIS. I also enjoy adventures with random strangers with funny accents.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Hip-Hop and electronic music in general. Deep house, trance, techno, tech-house, and trap are a huge plus. Pretty much anything that will give me the urge to twerk like a two-dollar whore will do the trick.

Movies: I like comedy, independent foreign films, and documentaries: Y tu Mamá También | Maria Full of Grace | Un Prophete | Beautiful Boxer | Paris is Burning | Here Comes Honey Boo Boo

Books: How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence.
