I'm a queer biracial English PhD student hailing from Canada and going to school in Colorado. I'm deeply Romantic and romantic, love writing and storytelling (helped run a Moth-inspired storytelling event for a couple of years), and am working hard to imagine others complexly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love stories in all shapes and sizes, and I'm always open to chat with people. I'm trying to push myself to be more adventurous. And I'm a graduate student, so I'm perpetually on a budget.
