i am a non-binary (they/them) kiddo, with a lot of anxiety and a lot of sweetness. i'm usually in the darkroom or curled up somewhere painting/writing/reading something old and dusty. i love being around other soft-spoken people who make me curious and help me learn. i've been working through a chronic fatigue illness for a long time that makes it hard for me to do a lot of the things i love that involve being outside and active, so recently i've been making a lot of music and spending time with animals and friends. if i'm not doing that i am usually cooking or daydreaming, maybe taking a long nap in the sun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i'm on a solo search (both literal and figurative) for community and a new home. i don't have money but i need a safe place to stay, and more than that want to stay with real people on this trip and experience real places, and because i want to find good, kind, supportive people in this messy world. i don't really have many friends or references because i don't have a lot of social media and I am new to couchsurfing this week. so please get in touch with me and we can talk! i promise i am clean, quiet, responsible, and reliable, and i don't need anything other than a comfy patch of floor to sleep on and a place to park my car.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i got to where i am now!

Teach, Learn, Share

i don't have a whole lot in my back pocket, but i'm a messy self-taught musician and if coaxed will share that. i can teach you things about cameras and photography, or help you stumble through some ancient greek. i'm a really good cook, and i can talk forever about queer/crip theory.
