Queer artist/musician/poet/noise diva. Been living in New Orleans for the past six years with a half-year stint in Mexico City studying Spanish. I travel pretty frequently. I live in a lovely home in New Orleans with two queer punky girls, their dogs, plants, and some banana trees in the backyard. I love both cooking and eating!

My music project is called Õblívîå. I sing with distortion pedals. It's a mix a many genres with a dash of drag and dance.

Life is absurd. I like to question and be substantially and indefinitely confused.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'll be traveling through the Mediterranean for about a month, doing an artist residency on a sailboat between Sardinia and Corsica. Will be traveling through Athens, Sicily, Barcelona, Madrid, and Lisbon to get to know them and learn some things along the way.

I hosted and traveled on couch surfing for a few years when I was an art student in Boston. I'm back on here for the first time in many years.
