Hey! I’m Jackson. I'm 31, queer, dog dad (Australian Shepherd, Zeus), and currently wandering my way through a long, winding 41-state road trip that’s somehow turned into “maybe I should check out L.A. for a bit.”

I’ve lived in New Zealand, backpacked parts of Europe, and have spent the last few months bouncing around the U.S. seeing what feels like home. I write (fiction + animated concepts), and I’m exploring the creative world a little more seriously these days, mostly figuring out what kind of community I want to build around it.

I’m easygoing, clean, good company over coffee or a walk, and I’m happy to give space when people need it. I love good stories, weird bars, ocean air, and late-night conversations about mythology, movies, and why Oregon moss feels sentient.

I don’t need anything fancy, just a couch or a spare corner while I get a feel for the city. Zeus is friendly, crate-trained and quiet (and beautiful, but I'm biased)

If you’ve got room and don’t mind hosting a friendly traveler with a very fluffy sidekick, I’d love to connect. And if not, also happy to grab a drink or a hike recommendation.

Hope our paths cross!

(Also clothing optional friendly if that's your vibe. I always say it means less laundry to do)
