****Right now I do not have capacity to host am only looking to travel****

Lifelong learner & jack of all trades, remade my profile after transition. I believe in compassion and flexibility - you know, the best laid plans!

Artist, writer and behavioral health worker recently relocated to Bellingham Washington. Hobbies include indie gaming, hiking, divination and cooking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Practically: let's be honest, travelling is expensive right now, and I love meeting new people and swapping life stories.

You don't really know a place until you stay with a local! I love the simplicity of good conversations, connecting over food and drink, and playing games.

Music, Movies, and Books

Little bit of everything but my fave genres are jazz, funk, blues, soul, metal, video game and film soundtracks. Currently listening to a lot of Casiopea.

Psychological horror, 90s romcoms, anything that's a Shakespeare adaptation. My Private Idaho, Romeo & Juliet, etc.

Current favorite book is She Who Became the Sun, and reading through some Murakami. I mostly read nonfiction these days, on Indigenous sovereignty, neurodiversity, disability rights and video games. Lord of the Rings is a classic.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Displaying my art at Nagoya Zokei University in Japan during university is something I'm proud of. But I like to think my real accomplishments are the weird, crazy or joyful moments shared with friends or strangers that make a good story.
Like stumbling across Las Vegas' best local gay nightclub and meeting dozens of new friends taking nipple photos with a toy flamingo for the DJ 😂
Or hiking in Hawaii and looking out over the sea mist and feeling connected to the sky and the Earth.

Teach, Learn, Share

Language exchange! I have several learning disabilities so it may take me a minute but always game to try.

Recipes, how you cook - swapping tips and tricks, new ways of spicing. Herbal remedies, all that good generational knowledge.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Tarot or Yi Jing readings, style tips and tricks, dance moves, humor, I can cook healthy dishes (spaghetti squash with fresh sauce is a favorite). I love an interesting conversation.

Let me draw you a portrait as a thank you!
