Greetings earthlings! I'm Jes. Full-time educator. Immigration advocate. Workawayer. COVID Vaxxed and going for a booster soon.

Raised in farm country, left to unlearn everything. Into bikes, lenguaje, art, desmadre, exploring, making new connections, writing, cycling, dinosaurs, eating, shitty wine, perreando, dad jokes, watercolors and humor at the expense of my own dignity. I am great with kids, animals and potentially dangerous spontaneous adventures. Respectful and appropriately communicative.

PHILOSOPHY
Do no harm but take no shit

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love meeting people, connecting, hanging in the evening exploring or listening to music and dreaming about smashing the system. I host when I have a place to put a couch, which now feels like a distant memory. Someday I will again.
Please note if you are a male host and I request a stay with you, do not expect sexual favors in return. I bite/will stab you if I have to.
