About Me
CIS MEN ON THIS SITE ARE GARBAGE FIRE WANNABE RAPISTS. DO NOT MESSAGE ME.
Now that we have that out if the way...
Women, Nonbinary, and Transmasc folks:
I'm currently pet sitting my way across Europe. I left North America in July 2019 and won't return until May 2020. My schedule so far includes France, England, Germany, Iceland, Italy, and Spain. At 40 years old I'm truly living my dream!
Sometimes I have a gap in between commitments and would like to explore somewhere new. I'm hoping to do some couch surfing and have amazing conversations, food, and maybe even mini-adventures with my hosts.
One day when I have a home again I'll be happy to host some folks and offer them the same in return.
***I am NOT looking for romance or SEX. I will only stay with women or nonbinary hosts.***
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love having experiences outside of the commercial economy. Who wants to monetize an act of kindness? Why is one type of labor or service worth more than another?
I also love making local connections. Yes, I'm a tourist, but I don't just want to take a selfie for Instagram. I want to get a feeling if how local people spend their time and what they value in life. Experiencing connection along with differences and similarities - that's what travel means to me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Bathed in the sulphuric waters of the Azores Islands until my skin turned yellow.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Fantastic conservation! I'm truly interested in everything. I'm especially interested in what interests you the most, because taking to people about their favorite things is what interests me the most. :)
Foodwise, I just learned how to make an amazing quiche! I'd be happy to cook for you or teach you to cook one yourself.
Around the house I can repair and alter clothes or help with the gardening. Or walk your dog or clip your cat's claws. After all, I am a professional pet sitter.
