I manage a professional tattoo and body piercing studio in Seattle. It keeps me busy and focused. #queercer
I am a transgender person who uses male pronouns. When I first started travelling years ago I was female identified so that's why you'll read "she" in my past references. I'm into talking about it as long as you are respectful. I've lived in Arizona, Los Angeles, Santa Cruz, NYC/ Brooklyn, Asheville, Atlanta, and now Seattle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have loved being apart of Couchsurfing! It has expanded my mind and world. I am open to alone time as much as I also like social immersive experiences. I have travelled a lot and slept on a lot of folk's couches and spare rooms, hosted surfers when I lived in Asheville, and held events like potlucks in the past.

These days I'm looking to be hosted in Europe as I make my way across a continent I have yet to embark on.
It's important for me to look for hosts who are different than me. It's not a hard and fast rule, but it's something I have grown a lot from. As long as you're queer friendly. Then we're cool. Of course love hanging with queers too!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It took 10 years, but I have seen ALL of the United States! <3

Teach, Learn, Share

I am the kind of person who doesn't feel ashamed to ask questions.

I'm into listening a lot. I learn a lot by being around passionate folks who let their hearts lead.
Yesss! So into sharing, and teaching, and learning!
That's how we grow.
