About Me

I'm a queer traveling bard with lots of energy and a thirst for adventure! I love connecting with other people and sharing stories, music and food.

Also, I am trans/genderqueer and use gender neutral pronouns (they/them).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore interesting places, have adventures, and make new friends. I love that Couchsurfing builds a global community of trust and connection.

Interests

Dogs/all animals, music (I play guitar, banjo, fiddle, etc.), geology, science, theater, art, hiking and the outdoors, vegetarian cooking, KPop, and feminist/queer/anti-racist things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went spelunking (caving) deep into a cave in Dong Van, Vietnam.

In Hong Kong I hiked to find an infinity pool in the mountains on Lantau Island.

I can make the most perfect poached eggs.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to fill your house with music, help out in the kitchen, have engaging conversations, share some wine or beer, and give lots of love to your pets (if you have them)!

Jokes, music, recipes, and a number of weird animal stories.
