graduated Anthropology student, photographer, amateur wilderness explorer, queer environmentalist, sustainability enthusiast.

I'm mostly interested in meeting up with/hosting/being hosted by queer/trans* folks. I'm not interested in meeting up with straight men at all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I end up all over the US all the time! a lot of the places I like to go are spread out, so finding crash pads in between is amazingly helpful. I love meeting new people wherever I go, and I love how big and small our world can be at the same time.

Surfers have been great to me on my travels and I'm excited to meet up and help while I'm planted in one place for a bit.

Interests

In my free time I like being outdoors during the day and dancing at night. Anything you like to do in either of those categories, I'm down. I love everything from bluegrass festivals to salsa clubs to punk shows to karaoke to raves. During the day at home I climb trees, paddle board, bike, and do yoga. I like rock climbing, kayaking, rafting, hiking, and camping, too. I'm also down for kicking back with a book or our computers and chilling by the pool or cooling off inside.

Love to jam! If you have your instruments hit me up!

I like finding local live music when I can. Left to my own devices I like folk, old-time, bluegrass, , electro-funk, and punk girl rock.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a 300 meter bridge jump into a gorge in Banos, Ecuador!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love group singing of any kind. I like learning basically everything, though at the moment my main interests are construction, car mechanics, and language acquisition.

I worked in College Admissions for a long time, so if by any chance you need help on college prep information I'm very well versed.

I will happily share in new experiences and enjoy whatever part of your town you'd care to show off. If there's a contra dance in your area, chances are I'll be going and I'm happy to have you come along as well!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will explore with you. I will make you delicious drinks. I will make tasty easy healthy food without making a mess. I will fawn over how cute your pets are. I will swap travel stories of our adventures. I will do yoga with you in the morning.
