hi!
i'm new to this site (and most iterations of this type of network). almost all of my travel has been within the US. i have toured with bands and arts groups since 2010 either as a group member or crew member, and throughout my life have always just loved a good road trip. I have done a lot of solo travel within the States and Canada, but had my first solo travel experience overseas in 2019 just in time for that to be become impossible.

I will be traveling solo around the UK and Ireland this October (spooky season) and hope to meet people through this site!

I run a queer food writing magazine called Dinner Bell Mag. You can stalk me on social media here ig: @bruce_pancake or here @dinnerbellmag or here dinnerbellmag.com - which will hopefully make up for not having any connections on this platform yet lol.

for what its worth: I am non-binary/amab

~
what i can offer:
i know how to earn my keep lol aka i can and will cook for you, and i genuinely enjoy doing the dishes. i'm just as happy reading quietly as i am rolling to the bar in a 10-person posse. I am just as happy chatting and socializing as I am keeping to myself and making myself scarce (went to catholic school so I all about sitting still).

would love to learn:
your neighborhood or region's quintessential go-to junk food

i like:
riding bikes, running, hiking, walking, cooking, eating, drinking and talking about all of these at great length.
