CURRENT MISSION

Bop around the world, meet as many different people as possible, learn to lose track of things

ABOUT ME

I use ze/zir pronouns. I am a fun-loving person and very social. I especially love dancing and climbing trees. I can also be quiet and shy sometimes, though I enjoy stepping out of my comfort zone and throwing myself into the wind.
I'm always hungry for adventure! I swear like a m*****f****** sailor.

If there is a farmer's market in your city when I visit, please take me there. I will love you forever.
I love dancing, bonfires, and climbing trees. Nature is the only thing that I am 100% sure actually exists. It makes me feel real. Snow is my favourite!
I also love reading - graphic novels, angsty LGBTQ YA, sci-fi. I love squash, Halloween, and bad puns. I love art, prose, and good connections. I love loving.

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the moment. This too shall pass. Breathe deeply, don't take life too seriously. Whatever it is that you are doing, do it with all your heart. You’d think by my personality I have a positive outlook on life, but I don’t. I think humans are a parasite on this planet. Capitalism is trash, ACAB, BLM, power to the people. Maybe we can turn things around but probably not. I am drawn to technology and hope the singularity happens in my lifetime.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My stays elsewhere have been made unforgettable due to my amazing hosts!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My erstwhile girlfriend and I shared a profile once to visit Brooklyn, NY for a couple of days. Absolutely unforgettable! I took my best friend to check out Boulder. We ended up surfing in Nederland even though she was a bit hesitant at first. Upon our return to Michigan she quit her job and had moved in with our hosts a week later!
