I was born in Johannesburg, South Africa and moved to Toronto, Canada when I was six. I'm a musician, traveller, university grad and gardener/farmer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing is awesome! To me, traveling isn't satisfying unless you have gotten a taste of what it is like to live in a place, with people who actually live there.

Interests

Anti-oppression (anti-racism, sexism, heterosexism, cisexism, classism, etc.), queer culture, fun, friends and adventures. I feel like the boxes we put ourselves and others in should be shaken at least once a day!
I love music- I'm a music nerd, am a vocalist in a band and play some drums.
And travel! going to new places and meeting new people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm obsessed with music- I mostly listen to punk music but I really love almost all types of music. Sleater-Kinney is possibly my favourite band, though. Some other bands or artists I love: Grass Widow, Dogjaw, Potty Mouth, Poison Girls, Beyonce, Grimes, Sleigh Bells, Robyn, SECT, MDC, Harum Scarum, the Dicks.
In terms of books, I've been really into radical/feminist science fiction for a while (Butler, Piercy, Leguin).
I love listening to This American Life, Serial and the Moth podcasts.
TV-wise: Broad City and Orange Is the New Black are completely amazing.
