I want to be simple, compassionate, and patient

I try to give myself up to whatever the moment brings.

I want to live life like a Miyazaki protagonist.

I'm queer and identify demiguy, genderwise (he/they pronouns). Feminist and anti-racist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on a cross-country road trip. I'm from Minneapolis, traveling westward along the southern United states.

Interests

I can recommend an almost infinite list of movies.

I love to dance. Love it. Especially to pop music with enthusiastic friends. Rihanna and TSwift understand me.

I'm also a blues and fusion dancer, but not a very technical one.

I really enjoy Ultimate. Not disc golf. I'm really bad at disc golf.

I haven't done martial arts in many years, but would do it again in a heartbeat.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Shadowboxed on a dock during a thunderstorm.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think the most significant sharing comes when people interact with a genuineness arising from vulnerability.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like doing things around the house -- doing dishes, sweeping, wiping down the kitchen, etc.

I'm an attentive listener and ask detailed questions. I like it best when people don't try and filter themselves.

I come bearing: a carefully curated collection of board and card games, a bunch of flying discs/Ultimate stuff, and a large cordless speaker for outdoor dance parties.
